NetSetMan overruled by PC, cannot stay on chosen MAC address

Hi I have xFi pods at home and my laptop ignores them and connects to the router even though there is a better, stronger signal 6 feet away with a pod.  I identify and choose it via MAC address, but the wifi adapter overrules netsetman, disconnects immediately, and reconnects to the router.  What can I do to change this?

This behavior is called "Roaming" and it is controlled by the driver of the network adapter.
Please find our description how to adjust this driver setting here:
