Is this unique? In other words, if you connect to a wi-fi network named "linksys" (rare, I know) with pretty much any device and then come within range of a different network named "linksys" will it automatically connect? I am asking because I honestly don't know. For me, it's a bigger question of being aware of how your device is configured and from where you are getting your internet access.

"Typically, an iPhone will look for a specific MAC address--the unique identifier for the router--to verify that the wireless network is a device a user agreed to join previously. However, if the iPhone has previously connected to any one of the numerous free AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots (offered at virtually every Starbucks in the U.S., for example) the device will ignore what the MAC address says and simply connect to the network if it has "AT&T Wifi" attached, Kamkar said". http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20003455-245.html?tag=mncol;title David Lum // SYSTEMS ENGINEER NORTHWEST EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (Desk) 971.222.1025 // (Cell) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
