How to choose a wireless network

dhilbe · 09-04-04, 11:19 PM

I have a wireless network setup in my house (with WEP). When I enable wireless on my Axim, it sometimes chooses my neighbor's wireless network (unsecured). How can I select a specific network to use when there are multiple wireless networks available? Thanks in advance.

Start, Settings, Connections (tab), Connections, Advanced (tab), Network Card: "Automatically connect to..." unchecked.

You may have to leave the area so you are not connected to it, but also tap and hold on your neighbor's network and remove it from the list.

OK. That helped me get rid of my neighbor's network. Is there a way I can select a specific connection when multiple are available?

I'm not sure which PPC you have but the current ROM with the X30 has the Odyssey client which gives you a list of networks and allows you to chose. I think the Dell WLAN utility, also on the X30 and on the X3i also gives this ability. I generally use WiNc (payware) on my X5 (with PPC02) and iPaq 2215 (with WM03) and have tried WiFiFoFum (freeware) which seems to work well, too.
