Proset only works with Intel hw. Check hardware in ControlPanel/DeviceManager.

Thanks for the links. I tried NirSoft's Wifi Info View; managed to force connection to only the desired gateway. Windows fought back, so I shall too!
Waypoint Short: I am using laptops; the 'move closer' option is doable, just not very convenient. The router option sounds good, and economical. Thank you.
Momoe: Looks good, I'll try it out. Thank you.
