How to stop Windows 7 from automatically connecting to unsecure wifi network
- by Remi Despres-Smyth
One of my neighbors has an unsecure wifi network called WLAN. At one point in the past, I accidentally connected to it, and disconnected immediately when I noticed. Now, when I open my laptop at home, it sometimes connects to the WLAN network first, before trying my (secured) home wifi network.
The information I've found regarding this issue seems to suggest this network should have a profile on the "Manage wireless networks" screen - but it does not.
How do I tell Windows 7 to never connect to networks with SSIDs called WLAN? Or to never connect to unsecured networks without confirming with me first?
