How to connect to same wife router

I am having problem connecting to my home wi-fi router when I start my
laptop. It is picking my neighbour's router. I have to change it to
connect to mine after starting. I can I configure my laptop to connect
my router every time I start the laptop?

Which operating system? The various Windows types still in the wild
may have a different way. And the Mac is different still.

windows XP

I run a Mac, so I don't think I can help you. That info was still
needed to establish who could help you out .However, the Mac does allow
you to pick a specific router to be the default router. In Macs it is
the preferences area, you might want to root around and see if there is
a similar thing with XP. It sounds like yours is currently set up to
grab whichever router has the best signal.

sounds like you are both using the same channel so change yours to another
channel.

Ok, XP. I'll also guess that you're using MS Wireless Zero Config and
not the manufacturers wireless connection manager. If you're using
the mfg client manager, none of the following applies.

Make sure your SSID is unique and not duplicated. If it's "linksys",
"default", "dlink", "belkin" or "hpconfig", change it in your
unspecified model router.

Next, make sure you're not connecting to just any old network:
Hit "Advanced"
Uncheck the box "connect to any available network".

Next, change the order in which your laptop connects.
Double click on the wireless icon in the system tray.
Select "Change order of preferred networks"
Move your network name to the top of the list.

(Labels may not be exact because I'm doing this from memory).

Most drivers for the wi-fi connection will have a way to select which
networks are preferred. Use that to change your network to one that's
preferred, not the neighbors. Which make/model is your wi-fi card?

And what's a "wife router"?

The equipment you need to keep identification of a mistress secured.

I threw my last one out after some dude installed his third-party
firmware into it.

It's a variation of "vendor lock", where the network hardware vendor
has sold a customer so much hardware, that they're effectively married
to each other. Also see cryptogamic (false marriage) vendor.
