Laptop Awakes: Wrong Wireless Connection

When my laptop goes to sleep, it's hooked into my home WiFi
network: SSID="Hui_Nalu".   WPA, N.

But when it wakes up, somehow it's grabbing an unprotected
SSID="linksys" network.  Probably one of the neighbors'.

Then I have to do a My Computer | Manage | Services and
Applications | Services | Wireless Zero Configuration.Start in
order to be able to re-connect to Hui_Nalu.

What am I doing wrong?
