![]() ![]() Is there anything I need to do in Mavericks to select the strongest network automatically?.(I left the laptop on overnight and it hadn't changed after 12 hours, so it's not related to timing) While located near the TP-Link powerline adaptor, I connect to the network, as shown by the bolded first line in the Wifi Explorer window (this is the expected behaviour as that is the strongest network):īut when moving closer to the Netgear wifi router, Yosemite doesn't disconnect from the TP-Link access point and connect to the Netgear access point (even though that network is much stronger): Unfortunately, OSX Mavericks isn't automatically switching between the networks when moving around the house. So I set identical SSID, security and password on both wifi APs. A client will scan all channels looking for APs publishing the SSID it wants, and will pick whichever one suits its needs best (usually that means whichever one shows the highest signal strength). Give both APs the same SSID, security type and wireless security The advice at How can I get the same SSID for multiple access points? is to set the same SSID on both wifi APs, and the laptop should automatically pick the one with the strongest signal: Previously I had separate SSIDs for each of the wireless access points, which meant that I needed to manually change the wifi network when moving around the house. ![]() I'm using a 2014 MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1 I have a Netgear wireless router in one room, and a TP-Link powerline adaptor with wifi in another room. ![]()
