Ok so when "Whitley" comes on your "Linksys" disappears! If I read this correctly. The problem is that they have a stronger signal than you do. Old MacDude is correct. you are both on th e SAME wireless channel. SInce you have a linksys and it still says linksys, you are on channel 6. Log in to your router, change it to channel 1 (change the name at the same time from Linksys to yours or something besides linksys) You then will not be dumped when they come on because the two channels will now be different!

An IP handle (192.168.x.x) ability you're connecting to a router. The router isn't connecting to the information superhighway. Modem or broadband (DSL/cable) may well be down.

Their wireless connection is safeguarded against other people using it. You would have to know their password or mac address to connect to it and I'm sure they won't tell you what it is.

Log into your router and change the broadcast channel - sounds like both routers are using the same one in too close proximity.
