I don't want to connect to TP-Link wifi extender

I have a TP-Link wifi extender in my back bedroom. My computer is in the living room close to TP-Link router. About half the time when I start my computer it connects to the wifi extender at a very low speed forcing me to disconnect and reconnect. Is there a setting in NetSetMan that can prevent this?

Nevermind, problem fixed. I was able to log into the extender and change the offending SSDI to something other than the same one on the router. BTW, it was AI that gave me the answer and also recommended installing NetSetMan.

Thanks for sharing your issue and solution.
NSM cannot prevent Windows from connecting to certain access points. It can only provide the possibility to then manually switch to a specific other access point instead.
