I work with different routers, I want my laptop to stop connecting to various wireless networks when a wireless connection is lost. Is there a way to prevent my computer from doing this?
Bonus: If windows could only re-connect with the network it had before, that would be perfect.
Operating system: windows 7
Windows will only automatically connect to networks it remembers. It will not automatically connect to a public network either unless you set it to automatically connect.
So the only thing you can do is to forget that network and it will not connect to that network anymore.
Open your network sharing center, on the top left, click adapters settings. Open the Wireless connection and then there should be a tab with your logins that you can forget.
I can't give you the exact names as I'm running Windows 8.1 and the names are not in English either, so I'm not 100% sure how to reach that place.
You can open the Network and Sharing Center. On the upper left, click "manage wireless networks". right click the wireless network that is giving you trouble, and choose properties. Uncheck the "Connect automatically when this network is in range".

That is, configure the above setting for every Wi-Fi connection available in the system.
