Adrian, Choose to "edit" a profile. From the Wireless Settings tab, click the Advanced Settings button (in area #5 - "Advance configuration") this will open an "Advanced Wireless Settings" dialog box where you can supposedly set the preferred AP MAC addresses. I don't seem to be able to specify any data in those fields, but that may be due to the fact that I have only one AP on my home LAN.
