I am trying to connect to the NETGEAR in my house using a wireless. The problem is that one of our neighbors also have netgear, so i end up connecting to their's which is a weak signal. Is there a way i can change the settings of the NETGEAR in my house to allow it to connect with the wireless. LIke change the name to Netgear, instead of NETGEAR.

To change the name of the NETGEAR, you have to get into it. There should be something on the NETGEAR itself, or in the instructions that tells you the NETGEAR IP address. EXAMPLE: 192.168.2.1 If not, try connecting to it wired and do an IP config to find the IP of the NETGEAR. Once inside, there should be somewhere to change the network name.
