hi guys,

as you know the e71 has built in wifi and ive got a wireless router and to log on my network you need a wpa key anyway my phone can find the network and it picks up 2 networks, both the same netgear network but one encrypted and one without encryption but when i access the one without the network wpa key i can surf the internet, why is this as ive set a password?!?

are you sure there the same ?

maybe some has the same router as you near by?
 
ive changed the name to robina(dont ask why) and still the netgear one appears and when i view the details of both networks the robina network signal strength is excellent and is encrypted by wpa and when i view the netgear one the signal strength is weak and no password protection is enabled, so i think it was someone elses network and also the netgear one comes and goes so it must be really weak

so problem solved ?
 
now it says signal for the netgear is strong and also it appears all the time even when i refresh for wifi signals, so i dont know but im sure if i put a key on my network no one can access it, even if they have the same network name as mine
