Lost Internet Connections

Hello,
I've been running a Linksys wireless router/ap for several years for a home
network. 1 base at desktop, 2 laptops with built-in wireless. Last week
added another desktop with a usb wireless ap. Initially, everything worked
fine. Now I'm having problems with reception throughout the house in areas
that were fine before, or I'll get a signal but no internet connection. The
problem still occurs after shutting off the new desktop, and is replicated
on all three remote stations. I did note that I'm now getting a signal from
a neibhor with an encrypted wireless network, apparently new, as I've not
recieved it before.
Looking for any tips or help?
Possible virus?
I have tried replacing the Linksys base unit, no help.
Thanks,
Bill W

Have you tried switching to another wireless channel? There could be other
networks broadcasting on the same channel as you that you do not see if they
are not broadcasting their SSID.
