Force a WIFI client onto a specific access point
Hello - I have a client machine that I want to force onto a newer access point, even though it is a little farther away. Can I specify the mac address of the access point to connect to somehow?

You can block that mac-address from the other access points but allow it on the access point you want it to connect to, without using software.
Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!
