 ## Controlling provider selection
 
-You can control which OpenRouter providers are used by creating a `.aider.model.settings.yml` file in your home directory or project root. 
-See [Advanced model settings](https://aider.chat/docs/config/adv-model-settings.html#model-settings)
-for more details about model settings files. For example:
+OpenRouter often has multiple providers serving each model.
+You can control which OpenRouter providers are used for your requests in two ways:
+
+1. By "ignoring" certain providers in your 
+[OpenRouter account settings]().
+This disables those named providers across all the models that you access via OpenRouter.
+
+2. By configuring "provider routing" in a `.aider.model.settings.yml` file.
+
+Place that file in your home directory or the root if your git project, with
+entries like this:
 
 ```yaml
 - name: openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
