I have a wireless card that I use to connect to our router. But When i got home today my card won't connect to my linksys Router instead it connects to this wicked weak signal so now it's like i'm using Dial-up. I think the problem is that there are two routers w/ the SSID name lynksis. I can't change the name of either router. I need help could anyone tell me what to do?

So your saying there is a router with same SSID near you as in next door or something?
I would log into your router and change SSID and wireless channel so that they dont interfere with each other and put some security on!

Yeah cuz if someone is using wireless they can pick yous up and use it for free
Call them if you still can cuz, with my buffalo router I did and they help me put it where no one can use it with out a password (wireless)

Neither routers are mine. I sap off my neighbor. So i can't change that. But Linksys routers all come w/ the SSID default name Linksys. This is where my problem is coming from. Someone else in my neighborhood got a linksys router so my wireless card is going to the weaker signal for some reason. I just need to know if there's a way ot block the weak one.

No lol, the OWNER of the router decides if he wants to broadcast SSID, you should thank your lucky stars they have no security LMAO
You could log into the router OF YOUR CHOICE and change the wireless channel and that may improove your speed
I don't want to deleate the broadcast. I just don't want my computer to pick it up.

Well login to it and decrease the wireless strength to 50% or something, then you wont see it!
Can you not just force a disconnect in windows then connect to the stronger, then it should in theory connect to the same 1 next time!

It would be funny if he decreases signal strength and the other has security then no leaching lol
I think they both dont have security though

Ok, I dont condone what you are doing, but if the owner of the router is thick enough to not put security on then its fair enough lol
This is why I have WPA and I have only my mac addresses enabled to access! Secure as fook
My neighbor gave me permission to use his router. It's not like he dosen't know I use it.Ok, I dont condone what you are doing, but if the owner of the router is thick enough to not put security on then its fair enough lol

Oh well, hes a nice neighbour, maybe you should setup security for both of you, there maybe another neighbour leaching and you dont know it!
That's a good idea. I'll mention it to him sometime.
