Q: Even with a strong signal the connection to my router drifts to another router.  Is there a setting on the mac to prevent this drifting?

Is there a setting on my laptop and desk top to prevent the roaming of the wi-fi signal?  I get a strong connection via my Comcast business account but if it's not used over a period of an hour or so it roams to another router at an adjacent business.  Needless to say this is very annoying. 

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    But, did you delete the other network from the other router using System Preferences / Network / Wifi on your Mac?......So that it will not log on to the other network at all?
