I connect my laptop (Thinkpad X60S on Vista Business) to a WRT54G linksys wireless router and let's say my SSID is HOME. My problem is this: When I try to connect Vista sees 3 and sometimes 4 networks of the same SSID, e.g. HOME, HOME (2), HOME (3) and HOME (4). It is the same network. Why is this happening and how do I solve it? Thanks. |

Either a lot of folks in your area use the same SSID or in the past you have created then recreated the same network. Pick a unique SSID for your network. You can also merge/delete networks.

I'm pretty sure I used a unique SSID. (I just used HOME as an example.) Also I don't remember recreating the same network. I just created in once. I have tried merging deleting but the problem always recurs. Example, I merge the duplicate names today. When I access tomorrow, the problem occurs again and I have to merge again and again. It's annoying. I want to get to the root of the problem and solve it.

try going in and changing YOUR SSID to something totally different and unique on the router and connect to the network wirelessly with the new SSID name. then remove/delete everything else. do the SSID names increment or no?
