Hello All,
I too am getting a list of detected networks in London UK:
belkin54g
CAMELOT
bunco_1
TOTORO
shapes
SKY89460
BYHomeHub-23E
The first two are unsecured, the rest security-enabled (shapes and SKY are WPA whatever that means)
I'm new to wifi, so belkin looks like a neighbour's router (what range does it have?) sometimes the signal is weak
CAMELOT is the same name as the National Lottery connector and is only sometimes listed.
The rest, I guess you have to pay for access to - BT is obviously British Telecom and Sky is the satellite TV people, but how do I find out who runs the others? belkin has three (out of 5) green bars, shapes has one, TOTORO has 2 and BT one. Ultimately, is it worth swapping to wifi instead of my current Virgin broadband? Thanks in anticipation
