Wireless Problem

Options
I have a wireless network problem I seem to have 2 other BT hubs showing up in the network smart wizard. I keep getting disconnected from the internet, and can’t find a way of getting ride of the other 2 hubs; any help would be most appetite.

    Do they all have the same name? Do they appear when the hub is off?

    If they belong to neighbours, try changing the ssid to something unique

    if not, right click on your wireless network icon (bottom right), open network connections, right click wireless network, properties, delete the spurious ones, and set yours to auto connect.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Not if the smart wizard is only set to find access points. If not then the other pcs would have to have been given those ssid names deliberately. In all likelihood they are simply your neighbours' networks. On some days I pick up 5 or 6 wireless networks from my house.
