Windows 7 PCs are not connected to the closest access point

Windows 7 PCs are not connected to the nearest access point.  Any ideas?

For example:

We have AP 1 and 2 of the AP for exaple.  They have the same SSID.  AP 2 is further with a bad signal.  AP 1 is closest with an excellent signal.  Why my laptop does not connect to the AP 1?

You MUST use the same SSID.  I think that you misread my post.

And Yes, a channel problem is that what I have proposed.  You can try to configure access points using the 3 discrete channels (1, 6 and 11) to minimize any overlapping units to the same channel coverage.
At least this is the traditional way, we do it, although the automatic selection increases common and 11n 40 Mhz channels (if defined in this way) are also in.

  • Windows 8 pro applications say that they are not connected to the internet

    I just installed Windows 8 pro and after installing, everything worked well. However, now all applications say that they are not connected to the internet.

    How can I fix?
    I tried to make a new account and check my internet options, but nothing seems to work.

    After much more research online, I was able to find the problem for my computer. Before moving to windows 8, I had AVG internet security on windows 7, and apparently that's what was blocking the applications to connect to the internet.

    So if you have some type of antivirus or internet security installed, try to remove them to see if that makes a difference.

  • Sync of DM of blackBerry Smartphones 'are not connected to the internet.

    I have the BB Curve 8330. I HAD DM 4.3. I bought the new computer, with Windows 7, and I downloaded the latest version of the DM. Now the message says that you are not connected to the internet. I did a lot of research today, and I do not understand much about the proxies. The only thing I see is that I listed port 80, but I see no other. I don't know if I need these two ports, and if I do, I do not understand how to find the address and add the other port. I know as little about proxies that I don't even know if I am this wording of the questions correctly! Sorry! I hope someone can help without a really complicated solution!

    Sorry that I was not back to meet and finalize this - had some seedlings to make! Finally got between this rain! I digress... Well had a few other issues with my new computer, HP have called and got help from them - couldn't even send and receive emails more. I'm embarrassed to say that the problem with my timing and electronic mail was Norton Antivirus! I had to uninstall it - that you can't even do it right on your computer, you must go to their website and get a special tool to uninstall it and when it was all finished, my e-mail has started working again and so did my syncing. I can't believe that a program like this can cause so much havoc. I know there are a lot of threads that say to deal with your antivirus, but there was a trial version on my new computer that I had not subscribed too, and even the trial were exhausted. I had checked all my settings on anti-virus, but it didn't matter. I had to uninstall all.  Thanks for your help anyway. You always learn a lot that you go when you run into problems. My own Kaspersky program is now installed, my BB is in sync, work e-mail, and seeding is finished - everything is good!

  • Windows 7 wireless emphasizes the connection to the wrong access point

    I use a model of wireless USB Netgear WN111 with Windows 7 64-bit adapter, connect to a D-Link wireless access point.

    Every time I have connect or wake the computer from sleep, he insists on connecting to the wrong access point - it connects to an unsecured Linksys device somewhere within the range.  I then manually connect to the correct access point - my D-Link.

    I went into the network sharing Center > manage the wireless networks and removed the network Linksys of rogue, but it always comes back.

    Any ideas or advice?

    Hello

    I don't know why he keeps picking up the 'rogue' network after that you deleted. My Windows 7 does not behave like that, and my research can reveal a way that I could do. Maybe someone else can tell you why he does. However, as a solution, you can try the following in manage wireless networks...

    1. do not remove the network of thugs, move it to the bottom of the list all the way down.

    2. open the rogue network properties and uncheck the box "connect automatically when this network is in range.

    3. open the properties of your network and check the box "connect automatically when this network is in range.

    4. you can even try to untick "connect to a more preferred network if available" both networks.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  • None of my apps on windows 8 are not connected to the internet

    I first noticed this with my messaging app on my home screen. a message appeared in the upper right of my say screen "(my email) is unavailable". I've been studying then more far by checking the other apps as well. I went to the app store market. Once more, I can't connect to the internet as the app says that I am not connected to the internet. Other applications ask the same thing as well. When I go to my office version, however, he said that the internet works perfectly well. I am able to access internet explorer in the desktop. I tried to restart my computer and turn on my Wi - Fi on and off but nothing works. Help, please. I just want to be able to access my e-mail.

I opened the antivirus and after checking all selections under Firewall I finished by clicking on help. He began to process automatically. I thought he was doing that I can get support.

  • I just installed a new router and now my desktop running Windows XP computer does not connect to the internet.

    Hello

    I just installed a new router and now my desktop running xp computer does not connect to the internet. I know that it is not the router because I plugged the cable into my laptop running 7 and it works fine. When I try to dhcp I get 169..., when I put manually the IP just get no access to the internet and can not ping to the router address. I tried to run the net work Assistant, emptied my dns, disabled all firewals, still nothing.
    Any suggestions?

    Your messages are a bit terse, but if I understand correctly

    • You have a router connected to the Internet and multiple computers connected to the router, some Ethernet cable and others by wireless.
    • All but one of these computers can reach successfully from the Internet via the router.
    • A computer that can't browse the Internet is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable.
    • You disconnected the cable between the router and the desktop problem and connected it to a Windows 7 laptop and the laptop connected to the Internet via the router.
    • You haven't seen any error message (except, perhaps, a message on "Limited or no connectivity").
    • You have installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 (or at least Service Pack 2)

    Assuming that all the foregoing is an accurate summary of the situation, I suggest that you do the following:

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines and press ENTER after each line

    Netsh reset winsock catalog
    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

    Close the command prompt window and restart the computer.

    It is not advisable to use a 802. 11B wireless bridge on a device such as your streaming media TV. Connection will be very slow and is probably the reason why you have a hard time to connect to your wireless router that's more compatible with it. I suggest using a Wireless N bridge or a multimedia wireless on your TV adapter so that you can fully appreciate the media streaming.
