Question User-friendly WiFi manager

I'm a customer of BT's public Wi-Fi service. Recently, my usual local gateway has been granting wifi connection but will offer 'no network access'. This doesn't happen all the time, just most of it.

I already have a home-made cantenna which brings in another gateway, weaker (48% strength) but one I'd like to try. Unfortunately, Windows only lists the strongest gateway with a BT Wi-Fi SSID - the one with problems.

I have tried using NetSetMan in an attempt to force connection to the weaker gateway. I created a profile with the necessary MAC address set. No joy. I've probably got it wrong, as I am not the brightest at these things!

Is there a capable and user-friendly program which will enable me to specify a MAC address to connect to? Or, is there a way I can delve into Windows and set this condition directly?

OS=Win.7. (Yes, I know...)
