Greetings Ubuntu 13.04, Wireless works just fine, save for one minor thing - It repeatedly selects the least desirable access point initially.
I have two main Wifi access points - let's call them A and B. A is about 5 feet from my system. B is well across the house - about 40 feet away and decidedly lower in power. B is an range-extension of A - it's SSID is really seen as "A12345" where "12345" is the sub-identifier for the unit (i's a little EDIMAX WiFi Range Extender that really works quite nicely and was really inexpensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315112) So - the issue is, when I start my system sitting right next to A, the system ALWAYS selects B as it's link. It works, but is considerably weaker, so I would prefer to usually choose A. I presume there is a list somewhere of my possible links, but I haven't found it yet. Any thoughts? Or shall I just commit myself to always manually swapping to the closer network when I start up? I have considered deleting my closer network, and then, re-adding it assuming that will make it the "most recently preferred" network. Is that the way to go? Thanks for your thoughts.
