@FredFredrickson: Both APs have the same SSID and Key (same PSK) in
order to allow seamless roaming on the laptop.
@danco: I hadn't thought of mac blocking, I'll check into that on the
livingroom AP. Great suggestion!

How does it connect to the second access point without the WPA key? If
you never supply it, is it possible it'll never connect? Change your
key on the wireless router you don't want it to connect to.

While the OP didn't mention it, there are huge numbers of WiFi access
points without any encryption.
And many still have the factory SSID, typically Linksys

But what he -did- mention, was that his two -are- encrypted. So this may
very well be the trick.

Living room AP: Netgear WG602v2 WPA-PSK Channel 11

Depending on the AP, it may well be possible to restrict access to it to
certain MAC addresses. That could be inconvenient, for instance if a
friend brought over a laptop and wanted to connect. But you can use
this method to prevent the SB from connecting to this AP.
