So i have been doing some router maintenance and trouble shooting with different routers to try and solve an issue. This created multiple networks named the same.
For instance my normal network was "golf pro." I named the other router the same so it made it "golf pro (2)."
Now here's the thing while trouble shooting my wireless network i found a small pop up box that listed all of the previous networks my laptop had been connected too and deleted them all except for my "golf pro."
PLEASE NOTE: this wasn't from the main "fancy vista" manage wireless connections window.
this was some other small setting (probably a properties somewhere) that i'd like to find again. Reason is that now i only have my original router, my network is currently named "golf pro" but when i hover over the wireless icon it says "Golf Pro 2 (Golf Pro)." I'd like to remove the original and rename so i only have 1 golf pro network.
Sorry if this is confusing but it is to me too lol

Start > Network, this will open a window of your network adapters. Ont he top bar, click NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER, on the left hand side click MANAGE WIRELESS NETWORKS.
Delete everything you find in there. You will not have a wireless network anymore. Reconnect and save new settings.
Need help with network naming in Vista
