[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1390697, member: 8287"] If you are truly talking about the icon next to the volume and battery, that is the Airport Icon. Every WIFI in your neighborhood that is in range will show up there. That is normal and the way it's supposed to work. Does the same on Windows and Linux also. Those other names are other routers in other houses close to you! I have 15 here. They CAN NOT access your computer. They are just wifi hot spots. I would still change encryption to WPA2 as it's a lot safer so people will not be able to steal your internet!! [/QUOTE]
