How can I block a disruptive, unwanted wireless signal in Windows 7?

A neighbor's wireless signal seems constantly disrupt my wireless connection.  Sometimes, I need to reset my router to be able to connect again.  Another time my laptop to connect to my router on its own.  Disruptive signal has WPA, and I can't connect to it.  I've seen some suggestions to use a "preferred network" option in the wireless connection dialog to manage, but this option appears not as described in my Windows 7 system.  What can I do to block my system to get disturbed by this unwanted signal?

Hello Furnace2,

Thanks for your post.  First of all, I recommend you change the channel on your router.  This could help with the problem you are experiencing.  You may need to look at the manual of your router to achieve this.

See you soon

  • How can I block access to the hard drive to windows when the computer is blocked?

    When I leave the computer on and 'blocked' option it accesses the hard drive and "work like crazy. Simple I want to block all the software to access the disk hard until I connect again.

    I want the computer to be available on the network, but does not.

    Thank you

    Sorry, but that is simply not possible.  Each computer doing something, if you're connected or not, each tick every millisecond it's on.  If you could freeze the process somehow, you would also freeze the processes and services that would allow you to access the network. Better, we advise to leave it alone, lock to prevent others from accessing and then do what you need to on the network.

    Hello

    Quote: "How can I block others access to my wireless router?

    By setting up the wireless router security encryption.

    Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.

    No security
    Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)
    MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).
    WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).
    WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).

    -------------------
    The three above are not considered safe.
    Safe starts here at WPA.
    -------------------

    WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).

    WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)

    WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

    Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

    Note 2: If you use WinXP SP3 bellows and not updated, you need to download
    the WPA2 Microsoft's fix.

    Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

    All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.
    Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

    I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

    If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

  • How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?

    How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?

    Mac Book Pro, OS X 10.9.5.

    On 3 June 2016, I received a notice to update software for my Brother printer. Driver version 4.0. I don't remember if I downloaded it in fact. Then I went on the site of brother and checked for the last update which proved be driver version 4.5. I have successfully downloaded that. On 10 June, I received a software update for the old driver version 4.0 again. I don't want to install an older driver, but I can't get rid of the nagging update notice. Too late, it got installed when I was composing this message. So, if I reinstall the 4.5 update and I get another message of updated software for the 4.0 update, how do I get rid of him?

    When I select the update of the software community, he rises to the Windows software and I can't change it.

    I used to get update notifications for flash. I uninstalled it and now they don't bother me. And updates to OS normal mac, can be disabled app store mac settings.

    In your case, I can say, try to delete the brother driver and install again, if it you nags once more.

  • How can I block unknown number or call number Caller ID?

    How can I block unknown number or call number Caller ID? A madman who got hold of my number and do not stop calling me. It is ruining my business that I only work with a mobile phone number. I get unknown calls 400 per day and none causing business that my phone is busy all the time. Samsung has this feature, but I refuse to believe that Apple isn't a solution for this problem.

    Asking again not you will get a different answer.

    You can not. your carrier may offer blocking of anonymous calls. Contact with them.

    Better yet, contact the police. This is harassment. They can trace the source of the calls. If they are from one person, it is a criminal offence.

    Im getting bombarded by spam from a single source.  Mail offers an unscubscibe button (although I have never subscribed in the first place).  However, if I click on unsubscribe I tells me I need to sign up first (Im not going to do that).

    Question - how can I block this sender so that don't get no emails more of them?

    Gordon

    You cannot block it unless your email provider has a tool to do this on their Web site. You create a rule in Mail/preferences/rules to delete the email, so it arrives in your Inbox. Example below.
