I have a TrendNet TEW639 GR router SSID network named No Trespassing.
My HP laptop with an internal N adapter will show a No Trespassing and a No Trespassing 2. The signal strength on the 2 is weaker.
Whats up with 2 networks showing up?
-
If you have attempted to setup your wireless twice under the same name, windows will add the 2
-
Or, some smartass in the neighborhood has set up another router with a similar name. It's a pretty common phishing tactic. They're hoping that you will accidentally try to connect to their router and in doing so, give them the passcode to your own router.
Use a utility like Inssider to take a raw look at your wireless environment.
