Use wpa2/aes, anything else is somewhat vulnerable at this point, but set it in your ap first.

Agree on the interference though, might have to try bouncing different channels to see what works better than others. Use of 2.4ghz is saturated at this point, so its pure rf wars within it. If you can use 5ghz for a/n, that's usually better, but shorter distances and less penetration a house.

Go into network connections and remove the one for your neighbors SSID.
Once your system has shown a preference for it (and maybe got an unsecured
connection in the past), it will keep going back there.  Also delete the
one for your own SSID.  That way the card will see both signals but not
show a preference for either.

Then you should be able to select your SSID and enter the :[new] pass
phrase instead of relying on whatever XP has in storage for your network.

What kind of wireless security are you using on upquick (WEP, WPA.
WPA2..._?


Thanks Larry. I'll give this another try.

I did remove the SSID for my neighbor's connection,
but it came right back and re-established itself again.

upquick is using WPA2 PSK

In network connections, I then see two options: TKIP and AES
Can't find any explanation for whatever the difference is.
