[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1568262"] Yes, the default for Airport is that the two channels have the same name. You can change that, then tell each machine which of the two is to be preferred. Normally, devices connect to whichever was last, if it's available, or the strongest it can detect, if the last is not available. The preferences change that behavior to look for networks in that order and only if it cannot find any of them to look for the strongest it CAN see. [/QUOTE]
