Phantom Netgear Network

Nov 12, 2005 2 Replies

An Unsecured network named "NETGEAR" pops up once in while. Could this be something else transmitting on the same freq? I am puzzled. Help Please


More than likely, you're picking up a faint signal from a neighbor's access point. If your AP allows, set it to ignore or exclude the unfamiliar AP. I don't recommend you access it. It could be a dummy network or a network setup to do harm to anyone accessing it. Anyway, take care.

I will take your advise, thank you for the reply.
