Multiple SSID connecting to poor AP

So my office has multiple AP which has same SSID. I want to connect to specific AP which is close to me, which results in better performance. Windows does not allow me to connect to specific AP so I use connect by MAC Address. But after 5 minutes or so after connecting my network switches to poor AP. I have to connect again by activating the profile. I dont want to do it repeatedly. How can I solve this? How can I automate the activation of profile every 5 minutes or so by script?

Re: Multiple SSID connecting to poor AP

NetSetMan cannot prevent this switching. This is most likely done by the drivers of your wireless network  adapter. You could try the following:
1. Disable auto-connection for this WiFi profile. (Open NSM WiFi Management, select the profile in the profiles section, disable that option and save the profile.
2. Try lowering the Roaming value for your wireless network adapter.
Please read this topic where this discussed in detail:

If this doesn't work and you still want to activate that profile every 5 minutes, you could set up a task in the task manager to activate that profile using the provided command line paramenters:

Re: Multiple SSID connecting to poor AP

Thanks.
I think its my drivers fault cause there are very less properties in advanced tab of my wireless driver which does not contain roaming aggressiveness.
Anyways I managed to run a batch command which calls my required profile every 5 min to check and stay connected to desired AP.
