Disabling Default Wireless Network

I set up a home wireless network using a linksys wireless router ... I
originally had the default "linksys" network that I could connect to ...
however, I then changed it to a unique name and made it WPA secure.
However, when I look for available wireless networks, I see my unique
name network and the old unprotected linksys named network.

I went to the computer hardwired to the router to adjust the settings,
but when I attempt to change wireless settings, they only have my
uniquely named network.

Does anyone know how I can disable this generic named linksys network so
that I can stop just anyone from logging onto my bandwidth?

Thanks in advance!

More than likely, one of your neighbors has a linksys wireless router or
AP with the default SSID broadcasting.

True, I guess I could turn off the router and see if their is still a
connection available, but I am too lazy. ;-)

Thanks Doug!
