How do I get my airport to stop switching to their network? They have a
linksys which they said was not working too well so they bought some
kind of booster that works so well it reaches across the street into my
livingroom! I can no longer surf without interuption in the front of my
house! My DLINK router was working great until 2 weeks ago. Now their
signal is stronger! I told them about WEP to secure their network which
I had set up on my router so now they've locked up their network too,
which only made matters worse for me. I have my ibook G3 preferences
(OS X 10.2.3) set up to sign on to my network at startup, but it
constantly swiches over! Argh! Any suggestions? Just found this group.
Hoping someone can help.

Had a similar problem about a year ago. Seems the preference that says
to join a specific network isn't strongly respected in certain versions
of OS X. I have had no trouble since 10.4 came out.

I have no idea what it means, but it's such a cool "word" (by which I mean
pronouncable sequence of letters) regardless.
