Please help me,
i've never had trouble setting up one of these things before. its
reset 192.168.1.1
complete reset. Then, i was trying to set up security for it, just
configure it (new location) and, i realized that i was connected to my
neighbors unit, the exact same model, no security. I thought it was
weird because my wifi card only picked up one LINKSYS in the area, i'd
have assumed it was mine, being right next to the unit. So i
disconnected, and picked the linksys again, this time with full bars.
assumption over-ruled, and i assumed it was mine, again. first thing
i did was set up a wap password and copied the encoded passcode. this
is important because i dont have it anymore.
i finally checked the status after being frustrated with the thing,
after i reset my linksys unit. then i restarted my computer. funny
thing is, i can only 'see' the linksys unit with the password security
setup, my neighbors. i assume they cant connect to internet either,
but we aren't on good speaking terms. long story. my computer, xp,
will not 'see' two internet networks named "linksys" - it just sees
one. i assume my unit is "extending" my neighbor's network, and i
can't get it to configure seperately. it can see the security-
enabled one, that i cant' connect to or configure, but i've already
reset my unit, also named linksys, which it wont see or try to connect
to. Is there something i can do with the mac address or something on
the unit to connect to it and configure it separately from my
neighbor's linksys network????

thank you anyone

Change the ESSID for your router.

Got an ethernet card in your computer? If so, use a cable.....
