router security
      #392574 - Thu Apr 24 2008 05:39 PM

Greetings all

I have recently purchased a zoom wifi router and it works a treat with no problems....but when I use it in the the garden shed, which is about 50ft away, when I search for available networks I get gwart2-54125 and my normal network name, I presume gwart2-54125 is me ? and why is it coming up, thanks in antisipation.

I would think it far more likely to be someone else's wireless network.

Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
