So how can I change both these areas of my WiFi setup in a more persistent way? I guess this may be due to privileges, since no UAC box opens when I change these settings. If ever I attempt to change the Roaming sensitivity or other properties, they revert to the defaults above. Similarly, my Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n Wireless adapter configuration allows 4 apparently user configurable property settings: The 2 routers I connect to manually, and they retain their setting most of the time, with connect automatically unchecked. I would prefer if they could be forgotten and never shown as "available" at all. Whenever I open "Available networks"on my laptop, however many times I have unchecked "Connect Automatically" for neighbouring networks that I will never connect to, I find that they have all been checked again. So I go out of range of one and choose the other router and get good connections from either.

I've tried setting up repeaters or access points, but they don't seem to work well consistently. My house is constructed so that I need to have my router at the front, and another router to serve the back of my house, and each competes with a different set of other WiFi networks. Living in the Victorian terraced suburbs of one of the most densely populated university cities in the UK, there are loads of different WiFi networks in my area.
