wireless network problem

Hi,

I have my iMac connected to my home wireless network. I have a network ssid and a wep key. I've had my Mac for several months now without any problems, but just recently I have noticed that without permission the internect connection would suddenly change from my network to another (called "linksys", must be someones router transmitting from somewhere in the neighborhood).

How can I stop this? Also, usually when I turn my Mac on, it automatically connects to my network, but it doesn't do that anymore. Now I have to re-enter my ssid and wep key each time I turn the computer on, and each time it switches to a different network.

Thanks in advance... not sure why it is doing this...

this might help - configuring your network to only search for yours

Hi

Thanks for the info. It seems to be fixed now. Somehow "linksys" was put in the preferred networks, and it was switching to it (why.. I don't know). Plus I turned off the automatically switch to preferred networks.

Glad to solve that problem..

awesome

Maybe it wasn't as much of a problem as you thought... how good is your neighbor's bandwidth?



KIDDING!!!!

Ha.. actually, the unknown network's signal was much worse.. that's one of the things that pondered me, why would it switch to a network with a horrible signal? only because it was on the preferred networks list, I guess.
