Depending on the version of OS should be able to display the the MAC address of the AP. That will tell you which one you are connected to. In Windows Vista or later from the command prompt type: netsh wlan show interfaces

That will display the MAC address of the AP.

On a Mac you do option -click wifi icon in the top bar-

It will show the PHY Mode, MAC and Channel among other things.
