How to disable wireless network

Netstumbler is an older program I have used befoe. I don't think it has been updated in several years. Are you using any form of encryption on your network ? Is the neighbors encrypted? Make sure you are using a unique network workgroup name for your network.

Hi Kocos,

This is the default behaviour of wireless networks to broadcast themselves (SSID broadcasting) to make it easier to connect too - your network is doing the same thing, and your neighbour can probably see your network too. I don't think there is a way to block it per se, since that requires your neighbour to turn off broadcasting, and this will probably make it more difficult for him to connect to his own network.

The best thing you can do for yourself, is to ensure your network is protected with a strong WPA pass phrase (password), so no-one "steals" your bandwidth.

EDIT : Correction. I just tested this. You can turn off SSID - connecting is no more difficult with it turned off. How to turn it off depends on your make of router.

You computer is just seeing the neighbors network. Just make your network secure & in the router setup make you signal invisable (don't broadcast SSID name)

Kocos,

If you specify your make of router (make & model) here, we might be able to help you sort it out.

OK. Let me see if I can find some details on it.

Have a look at this page http://www.conceptronic.net/Site/des...id=20&gid=2010

Which is your product?

Did the router come with a set DISC ?
