   If you are not already using a WiFi searching program on your laptop it   
   might be worth giving the Acrylic WiFi program a try.   
      
   It can be found at https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/ and is free to use   
   for home users.  It will show you all the WiFi transmitters in your   
   local area, even if they all have the same SSID.  One nice thing is that   
   this program gives you the SSID as well as the MAC address of the   
   transmitter.  Not knowing Apple products I wonder if it tells you the   
   MAC address of the transmitter it is trying to use.
