It seems to be stronger then mine and without a key there seems to be nothing I can do. I canot use my ipaq nor my laptop and I have now had to bring my main pc into the lounge to connect sraight to the modem.
I am totally peed off with this situation.
PLEASE PLEASE can someone help me. MY hubby has given up.
Thanks

Re: Neighbours Linksys V MY Belkin!
 to Cable Forum 
I anticipate that both your neighbour and yourself are using the same wireless channel frequency. Connect to your router's administration pages (you'll need to get the manual out), and change to a channel a few numbers different (larger/ smaller) than the one you current ly use. Then reboot the modem and wireless PC. See what happens then. |

If you can identify who's it is, perhaps knock on thier door & ask them politely to move it a few channels.

Log into it via Ethernet and you can change it yourself.

Has hubby been playing with the security settings??
If you go to http://192.168.2.1 you should be able to take the security off, then have a good read of the manual on how to set up the keys.

Just realised I gave you the wrong address before http://192.168.2.1 will access your belkin router whilst you require http://192.168.1.1 to acces the config on the linksys router to change the settings. As posted befoer the only way to avoid this is to change your channel so its different and also hiding your ssid and using wep or wpa because if you can see him then he can see you.
Ahh the joys of living in the middle of nowhere. |

Re: Neighbours Linksys V MY Belkin!
One of the first things I'd advise anyone to do with a new router is change the password: that way people _can't_ get in to change the settings.
Having said that, if your neighbour hasn't changed their password, to get in don't enter anything for the user name, and enter 'admin' for the password.

And further advice can be found in this recent thread too.
