Auto Connect
I have a LAN (Wireless & Ethernet) Network setup and my brother's Laptop is part of the Network. However, whenever he logs in he automatically connects to the wrong Network. He has to manually disconnect and connect to my Network. As you can imagine this is very inconvenient. How can I change the Network that is automatically connected to at startup?

You need to configure the wireless to only connect to preferred networks, then remove the stored wireless profiles and connect to the proper network.
