Because you've disabled roaming by giving them different names.

Again you've deliberately made it impossible to roam, what did you expect?

Interesting.

On Windows I've ticked the setting:
"Look For Other Wireless Networks While Connected To This Network When selected, Windows continues to look for other wireless networks, even if the current one is usable."


Obviously it switches as soon as a current connection drops, using whichever SSID has the strongest signal. I was kind of hoping that the above setting would be a bit smarter. It looks, but it doesn't appear to do any more than that.

Using the same SSID for all doesn't seem to help on Windows (with the above setting). I just connected to one box and then moved the laptop to the other end of the house, at -80dB and 11Mbps it is still hanging on to the first one even though situated right next to the other box with the same SSID and enough signal to reheat my cup of tea. Damn things never quite drop.
