has been lost ssid selector 308 is configured to change the primary ssid to an alternative ssid and transmit that to the wireless stations via transmitter 310 since the wireless stations are configured to communicate with ap 39 s having the primary ssid ap 304 is u201c seen u201d by the wireless stations as being one that is not associated with the system to which the wireless stations wish to communicate thus the wireless stations will automatically and immediately search for the strongest ap in the system relative to each wireless station that is using the primary ssid and connect thereto if at some point ap 304 reestablishes its network connection the ping process will confirm the reestablished connection and the ssid selector 308 will switch back to the primary ssid and transmitter 310 will transmit the primary ssid again any wireless devices for which ap 304 is the strongest ap will reconnect to ap 304 when this occurs fig4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the basic steps performed in accordance with the present invention at step 402 a network connection is established between an ap and a network server this connection provides connectivity between wireless stations and the network server as.
