       Your router - Part 2

       As mentioned in Part 1, you should move electronics between your
       router and computer so that it won't cause interference. This
       next part will require that you get into your router's settings
       and adjust them.
       Look for labels on your router, you'll need to find the brand
       and its model. Next, you'll need to enter these numbers into
       your browser's address bar. If one of them doesn't work, go down
       the list:
       192.168.1.1
       198.168.2.1
       192.168.0.1
       Next, you'll need to do your own research on login information
       for your router. I have a small list below but in the event that
       it doesn't work for you, use Google.
       Format: Username/Password(blank = nothing)
       root/admin
       root/root
       admin/blank
       root/blank
       admin/admin
       admin/password
       user/blank
       After logging in, you'll need to dig around your router's
       configuration. You'll need to change your Wireless Channel, I
       have mine on 11 but it may not be ideal for you. You can only
       set the channels from 1 to 11 however and you'll need to go
       through trial and error to test which works best for you.
       Channel 9 works for some people though so you might want to try
       that one.

       Maybe you can help me figure out why half the time after I
       reboot my computer, once everything has loaded on my Desktop
       there is a 50% chance that when I log back online, it logs in
       under someone else's Wireless connection. The Cable company
       can't give me a definitive answer other than "it happens". I get
       that "it happens", I just would like to know why "it happens"
       and how to stop it from ever happening again.
       Bah!!!

       I believe your computer is setting priority on your neighbor's
       router over yours. If you're fine with using teamviewer, I can
       help.

       Not sure how it can "set" it to someone else's, especially if
       it's 50/50. Anyway, what is Teamviewer?

       Teamviewer is a program where I'm able to control your computer
       while you sit back and watch. It's quite a slow and painful
       process if your internet connection isn't that good but I'm able
       to fix problems for you without any interaction.
