Wifi networks

I'm nicely up and running with SliTaz 3 but I have one annoying problem.

I have my home Wifi, and I can connect to that automatically by putting it in favourites in the wireless network manager, however at certain places in my house a public wifi (BTOpenZone) has a higher signal strength, and occasionally SliTaz will swap to using that instead of my own WiFi.

I presume that this is because, in favourites, there is the entry "any" which allows any network to be used if in range.

How can I remove the "any" network, or alternatively force SliTaz to only use my own defined network?

Re: Wifi networks

Discover which channels the wifi routers are using you don't want to connect to:

iwlist wlan0 scan

Configure your wireless router to use a channel as many channels away from wifi routers you don't want to connect to as possible.

Configure your wireless adapter to only connect to your wifi routers channel:

subox wifibox

Configuration tab/Advanced/Channel

or

#nano /etc/network.conf

WIFI_CHANNEL=" "

#/etc/init.d/network.sh restart
