A nice article I linked to at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-7589-0.html?forumID=62&threadID=3591&start=0 noted you'll want to try other channels such as 1, 6 or 11.

I am running a wireless network in my apartment. I actually only have a laptop that uses the wireless capability of my Linksys 4 port/Wireless DSL router. I have my WEP enabled and my SSID broadcast disabled. My laptop has no problem connecting although the signal is usually low because it's about 3 rooms away from the router.
Yesterday I guess my neighbor upstairs got a wireless internet connection because his connection shows up as one that is available for my laptop. My problem is that when I am on my network wirelessly thru the laptop, it periodically kicks me off and says that my neighbor's connection is available. My assumption is his router is directly above where my laptop usually resides because the signal strength is high where as my connection is low. I also assume that he is even newer to wireless networking than I because I can use his connection to surf the web which leads me to believe he doesn't read about securing his network. LOL!
Is there a way for my laptop to not search for this other connection? I heard that XP looks for the strongest signal which means his wireless will continually be selected over mine.
Thanks.
