Each time you connect to a Wi-Fi hot spot, whether it's in a restaurant or at home, it logs the name of the access point that you connected to in the Windows Preferred Network settings.
If you're like us and you accidentally connect to your neighbor's access point, and then find yourself reconnecting again despite your efforts not to, you need to relocate your neighbors access point listing down in your connection list and move your router to the top.
Here's how to do it.
Click > Start > Connect To > Wireless Network Connection
When the new window opens, click the Properties button in the lower left, then the Wireless Networks tab at the top.
Under Preferred Networks look for your home, work, or favorite router name. Highlight it and use the Move Up button to move the selection to the top of the list
