Hi all,
I've already searched my fingers bloody on the net. For a network with several (WPA2) WiFi access points (Netgear Repeater), I would like to always automatically use what enables the best connection. Is that possible with Windows on-board resources?
always the best wifi with on-board resources

There is nothing much to do with board funds,
there are various programs that always show you the closest or strongest WLAN point. eg: Free Downloads "WLAN search", Homedale (Freeware), Wi-Fi Inspector (Freeware), WirelessNetView (Freeware), ********** (Freeware), Wi-Fi Radar (Freeware), etc ...
That would be one thing, but if the individual routers have to have different passwords or addresses you have to change your TCP addresses every time, then it gets boring, but in this case there is again a program (freeware) with which you can set up to 6 TCP addresses + password can save, "Netsetman".
After making entries in "Netsetman", select the corresponding tab, press the router to be connected and connect, that's it.
With this option shown by me, you are then totally covered. Have fun with it. -

I do not think that this program has anything to do with the question of the TO.
The tool you mentioned may still be legal to a certain extent, but a discussion about it has no business in this thread. -
Still a welcome to the forum, Sundance

Sorry, ***********: was not offered by me! Once again ! Sorry for the bad "link"
**************
The tool finds all W-LANs that are active in the vicinity and displays them together with the SSID (Service Set Identifier) in list form. It lists all important information such as encryption and radio channel.Sundance

Its alright !
You know yourself from before, but you weren't a mod then.
But be vigilantGood luck for,

Still, I delete the name.
I know the tool very well ...
But you know the principle here, everything that could be used illegally has to stay outside.Ps:
The name told me something right away, nice to read you here again. -
I don't want to sneak, but in the article by "cuckoo"is also the bad word!

I would say that you should inform yourself before you complain, that was not done here. The program netstumbler is a non-prohibited program:
"Network Stumbler" is a helpful freeware utility for all wireless networks.
With this free tool you can measure the range of your WiFi. The "Network Stumbler" (also known as NetStumbler) shows precisely and clearly how the connection quality suffers with every meter of distance, shows broken connections and localizes them precisely with an optional GPS system.This is what the program does, maybe there was once a program with the same name.
Netstumpler can be downloaded anywhere, so I can't imagine that CHIP, PC Welt, Computerbild, Winload etc. will put a program that is not allowed to be downloaded into the network.
So in the future first look on the Internet and do your research before making a statement and embarrassing yourself. -
Man --- Cuckoo not so agro --- is not meant to be mean. And if I've embarrassed myself here, then that's OK with me. Woe to him who doesn't make mistakes --- he doesn't learn anything.
If you are interested I could post the link again under PN --- And you read what is there yourself.
So, I hope you can forgive me for my mistake! -
Apology accepted.
In 2002 or earlier, when the program with V.03.23 came on the market, you probably saw it differently, you could use it to recognize networks and log in if they were not secured, and that was the crux of blacklisting the software.
During this time, there weren't too many security concerns.
What you read about it today is ancient and no longer relevant.
But you should have a current article from 2010 you can send it to me via the link.But you can't hack yourself with the program, it basically doesn't do networks like Windows internet access anymore and shows the next networks. It may work a little more thoroughly than Windows.
I can do the same with many other network programs besides GPS.Here is an article from 2004 (at Heise) for version 0.4 - there is no other one.
Article from c't 20/2004 on NetStumbler 0.4.0
NetStumbler is the classic among Windows tools for detecting wireless networks of the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g standards. The tool sends probe requests and evaluates the responses from the access points. In addition to the name of the network, the channel and the signal strength, it also shows in color whether the wireless network is protected by WEP encryption. NetStumbler even recognizes the manufacturer of the registered device based on the MAC address. It is also possible to record the GPS coordinates, provided a GPS mouse is connected to the laptop. The recorded data can be sorted according to different categories for further analysis and exported, for example to import them into maps. However, NetStumbler does not work correctly with all WLAN cards and drivers. -
Already OK.
You can talk about anything.
Mistakes are made now! Absolutely do not exclude me.Good luck for ! Sun Dance
PS .:
I'm sure, Michael, doesn't allow any bunglers as a mod.!
And if I spread crap again --- Just wanting to learn -
Wow, that's a lot of contributions!
Well, I don't need this function for myself, but for a couple of notebooks in kindergarten. each group has a notebook where observations and documentation can be made.
I have 3 wireless transmitters / receivers with different SSID's, otherwise everything is the same. I have the problem, when the weekly meeting is or someone works in the common room, he shouldn't use his first automatically connected wifi but always the best. Otherwise, the work sometimes becomes a torture.
If I got that right, everyone else is as smart as me. Therefore, for better or worse, I will have to give employees the opportunity to prioritize the best WiFi in the advanced settings (move it up or down).
Does anyone know how to link the wireless advanced settings directly? That would be a bright spot.
Thanks again for the numerous contributions .;) -
After switching on the notebook, it searches for W-Lan a connection and here you have the option of choosing a router. Here you can also see the quality of the connection, you now put the router in the first position in the displayed list for the respective notebook, then you go to Properties for this connection, here you go to a new menu and you can then set a Hagen "always connect to this router ".
When started, the notebook always connects to the same router automatically without making any further settings,
I am not aware of any other possibilities, at least this is the case with WIN7, although it should also be the case with XP and VISTA - but it is definitely the case with Vista.
Or you take the program NETSETMAN Here you can also pre-program the router (up to 6 pieces), one click and you are connected to the respective router. -
Hello cuckoo,
As far as Windows is concerned, of course I know all of that. However, I didn't know the Netsetman yet. Seems like the right tool for kindergarten. Thank you very much for that.
Is there a thank you button here?
