I have Google Wifi with 2 routers. My work computer is right next my personal computer. My work computer shows me:

netsh wlan show interfaces

There is 1 interface on the system:

I suspect that my work computer is connecting to the Google supplied router that's further away. Is there a way to fix this? Both computers are running Windows 11

Your suspicion is wrong. The BSSID is a unique identifier of each wireless base station. Both PCs connect to the same BSSID, and thus are connected to the same base station.
