Wireless access point question

[dtokez]

hi all. I have recently purchased one of the small TP Link travel type routers for my workshop - it works fine but the trouble I sometimes find is that when i walk up to the house my mobile stays connected to the workshop AP but with such a low signal strength I can't access anything. I have to manually connect back to the house router. Is there a way around this? I just assumed my phone would connect to the strongest signal, especially as they are on the same network?

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys, its a shame wireless devices are not clever enough to switch to a stronger signal on the same network really lol

I guess it would make no difference if I named them the same? Think the security settings are the same

Don't think I can reduce power but that is a good idea. I don't pick up the house router in the workshop, but certainly get the workshop one in the damn house once I've gone back in lol
