    network connections shown in systray


    What are all of the listings shown when I click the network icon in my systray?
    There are about 10. Mostly 2wire with a number. Are these nearby routers in my condo?

    Yes, these are the networks in range of your adapter...

    I should have asked if these show up because they are unsecured or would only be available with a password.

    These are all secure networks, an open network would have a yellow icon on it.
