Hello,
Having a problem with various wireless machines deciding to shift their
attention from the wireless router or access point quite near them, to APs
outside the building or office. This of course causes issues when doing
things like using network printers or shares.
These machines are laptops, so they do need to hook up to different access
points at other locations (where the same problems recur). It's a variety
of machines from Powerbooks to Sony Vaio pcg491.
I'm not sure exactly what this hunting is actually called, which is limiting
my Google searches. If anyone has any tips for words to use, or knows of a
way to effectively limit this hunting while still leaving it easy for the
user to connect at other sites, I'd be very glad to hear it.
Thanks,
Patrick Keenan
