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.
