Skip, which Senao client/bridge are you using? I was looking at the
specs of the NOC-3220-EXT recently and it sounded interesting but I
have not tried it yet.

To solve your "hijack" problem you need client software that will
allow you to select an access point by MAC address in addition to
SSID. Some will do that but I dont't know about the Senao.

You can download the data sheet and manual here:
