I'm pretty positive that you can set an order on which connections to connect to, and it'll autoconnect.

When I went to UC last year, I had a WiFi in my dorm room, the school had one, and a lot of others had one.

The WEP encryption will not allow you log onto the network with out the needed key or password. It does NOT prevent people from seeing that your network is there.
Most routers now have whats called SSID Broadcast Disable.
If your neighbor has this and truns it on then his network will not be visable to you!
