Lookin for some help here.,,I have no idea what to do
About a month ago I purchased a Tablet PC with built in wireless NIC. For the past month it has worked perfect. I'd carry the laptop all around my house and he connection was fine. Then last week I fired up the laptop in the bedroom and was unable to connect to my network or the internet. I had not changed a single setting or anything on the laptop. After fiddling with the wireless lan setting properties I noticed that my SSID was listed, but another one was also named Funkytown.
Now it seems my tablet keeps picking up this funkytown (but the connection isn't strong enough to actually connect to it) and it's killing my own network connection. I will select my SSID and click connect..the network will connect, but then disconnect after about a minute, then reconnect again for a bit, then disconnect.etc etc. Sometimes it says it connects, but I cannot get to any computers or the internet on my network.
If I remove all the wireless connections listed, and setup my local one again it seems to work for a while....but then inevitably Funkytown is found again and screws everything up. Is there a way to block funkytown? And why is it screwing up my home network connection?
OS = Windows XP Tablet
Access Point = Belkin Wireless broadband router
