Have used a Linksys wireless router for a year or more at home. Have
it connected to the high-speed internet cable modem via Ethernet cable,
and it worked well laptops, all equipped with Airport cards. Of late,
however, the laptops automatically connect to what appears to be a
stronger wireless signal, probably from a neighbor within a few tens of
feet on either side of me. The automatic ID is one I'm unfamiliar
with, certainly not my "Linksys" network as I had named it. I'd like
to test the Linksys router to see whether it is actually sending out
any signal since I don't seem to be connecting via it's signal. How
would I do this (short of moving my cable service and setting up my
network in a totally different location far removed from the mystery
signal)? Is there any way I can force the Linksys to over-power the
mystery signal? Do I choose some connection preference other than
"Automatic" in the Airport panel? What is the "Robust Interference"
option which can be checked in the Airport panel? I can't expect a
listee to go into a full and complete explanation on all this, so if
anyone knows of a good authoritative printed or on-line article
addressing these issues I'd really appreciate it.
