Not fishy really. Most likely one of your neighbors installed a wireless on the same channel. Instant troubles! To get to setup, enter the address of your router in the address bar of your browser. Most likely it will be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. A sign in box will come up. It will ask for the name and password you used to set it up. Don't know? Grab your manual from the modem or look up the manual on the web. It will tell you the default name and password for your model. With that in hand, press and hold down the small reset button on the rear of the modem until the lights flash on the front. (about 15 sec). Now you can log on. Do not to forget to assign a new password on the modem. There will be a wireless setup. Try not to get carried away with changing default settings.
I forgot to mention that you may have to hook an Ethernet cable from your laptop to the wireless router for this to work. You can unplug it when you finish.
