Re: How can I tell what wireless router I am connected to?

Don't know much about the Mac world so can't help in that respect.

Found these:

»kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/pag ··· ?id=6526

»blogs.aerohive.com/blog/ ··· cs-tool-

That said, this is a useful tool:

»www.metageek.net/product ··· for-mac/

You should change the channels of the routers. Or simply turn off one that you don't need (if that is the case).

This link was very useful. First, I changed the channel of one of the APs. I can see the MAC address of the AP that I am connected to when I move from one AP to the other (they are on far sides of my house). It didnt happen immediately, but it did change. I am going to try a few more things when I have the time, such as disabling wirelss on one of the APs, and then doing the same to the other.

And, yes, no love for AAPL folks.
