US Wireless ? ?

General solution.
Get to the window that shows all the wireless signals your computer can see.
Poke around the options.
You can address it in one of three ways:
1. There will be someplace where you can set the USIWireless as "Manual" or
"Not preferred" or something similar.
2. You can usually mark one or more wireless signals (e.g. your home
wireless or the library's) as "preferred."
3. You may be able to set the order that your computer looks for wireless
signals. Put your preferred networks (e.g. home or library) at the top.
Since every network card seems to have a different software interface, I
can't be any more specific. I did use option 1 in my usual coffee shop
since the USI Wireless signal there was strong enough to be detected but
provided poor service.
