Is it possible to bind the device on MAC or IP-address to a specific access point? My printer, which is located on the first floor, constantly connects to the access point on the third floor and ignores the point on the first floor.

Strange one this but i had the same issue with a HP Printer.  Turned out when it was scanning for wireless it searched for the SSIDs in accending order by channel.  Namely it always tried to connect to the SSID on Channel 1 regardless of how far away it was.

 

I ended up swopping the channels around on the APs so that Channel 1 was on the AP near the printer, worked fine since..

 

Not the most elegant solution, but quick!

Happy days!  Glad that worked for you!

 

Likely they both use the same type / vendor of wifi card and its very basic at best.  Long as it works :)
