My Mac (OS 10.4.5) is connected to two Squeezeboxes wirelessly using two
Airport Extreme base stations as main and remote in a WDS network (the
Mac to main base station is a wired connection). By the way, my DHCP
server is my router, wired to the main base station.

Apple states (and I have tested this) that the network names of the two
stations  in a WDS network must be the same.

So how can I tell which base station the Squeezebox is connecting to,
and can I force it to choose one over the other?

I think I previously had the stations with different network names,
which solved the issue, and that the requirement for the same name is
fairly new.

I am asking the question because I think the SB can see both base
stations and is actually connecting to the main one rather than the
remote, which leads to a much lower signal. The whole point of the
setup was to get a higher signal by connecting to the remote station.
The second SB gets a much higher signal, though it is very much further
from either base station (I suspect that it can only see the remote
station).

Not that the low signal leads to problems with music at present, but I
would prefer it to be higher.
