[magicboy]

Everytime i turn on my computer it automatically connects to my neighbours router. I have my router set to home and because i don't know how to take it away completely my neighbours is set to public. Thanks

tell your neighbour to protect his/her network,technically you connecting to their network is theft

Open your wireless manager, right-click on your neighbour's connection and select 'add to exclusion list'

I'm not connecting to it to use it. It just connects automatically. I can't find add to exclusion list.

I work with a guy who built himself a big old antenna so he could do his torrenting off other people's networks.

you should be able to move yours to the top of the list and windows will automatically try that first ?

What's the name of your wireless manager?

Okay.

Click "Start" (Windows icon at lower left corner of the screen) .. then click "Network".

Now on the toolbar, click "Network and Sharing Center".

On the right-hand side of this window that pop ups, Click on "Manage Wireless Networks"

Now click on your neighbor's router & click "Remove" on the toolbar..

All done, As long as you don't connect to your neighbor's router manually.. it will never connect ever again.

another thing is that you can force it to use a password that is incorrect so it does not use that SSID
