We recently switched from cable to DSL, along with carriers of the service. When it was cable, my network was named "the interwebz". Now that its DSL, its named "Myqwest7263". Interwebz still shows up, and still shows you can connect to it. My computer was automatically connecting to it and the internet was choppy. I opened the network center to remove "interwebz" from my list. I also see "myqwest1229". The only other network in the area is my neighbors, which is "linksys" I'm quite positive "myqwest1229" is my connection also. Why is my old network name still connectable? why does my router show 3 names? Is this effecting its performance? Its a belkin.
Also i bought a cheap wireless card off ebay that plugs into my USB when i installed windows 7, because my old one wouldnt work. Is this affecting my internet speed any?
I know computer basics, maybe a bit more then the average person. So forgive me if this doesnt matter or isnt affecting anything, i figured id ask. I searched some first, i couldnt figure out what key words to search, didnt know how to describe my problem. Thanks guys! any help is appreciated.
