Why are there two routers listed in the Network Infrastructure?

I have a Linksys WRT54G2 router, but sometimes when I look at my network in the control panel it shows an extra router, that router ghost appears in the title of the Network Infrastructure. It's a WRT160N. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't.

I have Windows 7.

Why this is part of my network? Should I be worried? How can I stop it arise?
Here is a screenshot of the problem:

Hey DavidVX,

I found a few other similar topics you can check below:
On a thread, the user was able to match the MAC address of the window of the Network Infrastructure to an open wireless network (unprotected) nearby. This seems to be the case for multiple threads, I found elsewhere on the internet.
Given that I have found so many other similar threads on the same issue, I would consider it is safe and I would just ignore it.
If I find a solution to them, I'll let you know!

  • Configuration of backups from iCloud drive: why are there two Mobile Documents files?

    I've recently started using iCloud drive to synchronize documents between my Mac and iOS devices. Now, I want to assure you that I have local backups of these documents.

    I understand that the documents synchronized via iCloud are store locally in my Mobile user home/library/Documents folder. But when I check I made 2 folders: Documents Mobile and Mobile Documents.90391253.  The Documents Mobile folder seems to keep all the records that I created using Pages, drafts and TextEdit.  The second folder has files with obscure names such as ' JFJWWP64QD ~ com ~ goodiware ~ GoodReader. ". Records of Documents that I checked are empty.

    Here is a screenshot of the second folder:

  • Why are there two sites Adobe Muse by Adobe?

    Why Adobe has two large Muse following Web sites:

    www.adobe.com/Muse

    Muse.Adobe.com

    I spent the last month trying to find resources, help, all stuck extended tutorial in site 1 above. Just today, I found the second site above and it is with the help of google to search of muse... What's worse, is that there is no link to everything I could find between the two site. Web site 2 above seems to have much more info on Muse than site 1 above. They both seem to be managed by Adobe.

    I've always had difficulties to navigate the Adobe website and now I find stuff like above. Very frustrating. I can't conceive a reason why Adobe still do this. Nor have links with Adobe TV with muse tutorials... who knows what other pages of Adobe, under the aegis of Adobe, with help/tutorials/resources for Muse and other applications are 'hidden' where you have to use google to find web pages.

    I wish that Adobe affineraient their Web site... I love the apps, but the site looks such a mess and a hodgepodge of pages whose half seems that all break the link, but with the same information to the application.

    The Adobe website uses the same structure for all the product pages. With Muse being a relatively new product in the area of web design, the Muse team themselves have added their own website where they can add as many resources as they wish. It is not possible to add these resources on the main site.

    The second site is one you should use to Muse that the first is just the basic selling stuff.

  • Why are there two drivers for my printer in Device Manager?

    Product: HP Photosmart Premium C410 all-in-One printer

    I had several cases where I had to reinstall the printer software. Several times in the course of the last few months, without reason, that I can attribute it to when I try to print, I get an error message that the printer software is not installed.  I followed the instructions carefully for the resettlement of the printer and the printer as HP installation wizard, I downloaded. After deleting the printer in the menu devices and printers and reinstall the printer, I find myself with 2 copies of the Photosmart driver Prem C410 series.  Even if the printer seems to work ok, the Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox keeps giving an error that the printer driver is disabled and asks me if I want to activate.  When I check the drivers in Device Manager. Two copies say they work normally and all information is the same that is to say: driver date, version, details, etc...

    I disable or remove a driver but that we have no idea.

    It's windows, the Device Manager, that means some how windows think you had two different instances of the same printer, this could be due to the installation of several trying, or have you had the unit repaired or replaced? or maybe you changed the connection method (usb/wifi/LAN)? I simply remove these instances and then uninstall the drivers (if they still appear in uninstall) and then download and install the driver full hp.

    I wanted to downgrade window vista 64 bit on a windows xp service pack 3... cause a lot of software I want might not be installed in this os... However, it is quite a disappointment for me discover that drivers that I need to do the new install is not found in the toshiba Download Center...

    It's really frustrating... any suggestions as to why?...

    hoping to get suggestions from you all... Thanks a bunch!

    (Note: when I go to the toshiba Download Center only the bios is available for downloads... I use to own another brand and go to their Web site allows easy access to all drivers)

    Perhaps I made a mistake here, because this is the first time for me to use a laptop toshiba brand... and do the tour of the Web site...

    Hello

    What is a mobile US?
    If yes-> go on Toshiba U.S. driver page and search there.

    If you will not find XP drivers these drivers are not being released at this time.
    But I doubt that any of us would be able to say exactly why the drivers aren't on the page.

    Perhaps you could contact the Toshiba in the United States and ask the responsible guy why XP drivers are not published? What do you think of this suggestion?

  • Why are there two Creative cloud related icons on my Mac menu bar and how do I get rid of this unwelcome intruder and uninvited?

    20150617-114847.jpg

    One looks like a link in the chain and the other the adobe symbol.

    The adobe symbol looks like it is open the other.

    I don't need those two things. That's bad enough.

    I use a lot of other tools that I use on my menu bar, so these two, I didn't ask, are boring, especially Adobe who suddenly appeared.

    It is a waste of space and does not seem to add functionality to my system.

    (1) can someone tell me what it is?

    (2) can someone tell me how to uninstall it?

    I get myself, but have no idea what to call it-another very annoying thing on this subject. Making a menu item that gives no indication as to how it's called?

    I click on it and get two menu items:

    (1) last checked today at...

    (2) open Updater. Makes very useful exactly what clicking the icon just creative cloud beside it made...

    Help to remove this would be appreciated.

    Hi Dennis,

    This Adobe icon at the top is Adobe Update Notifier.

    Whenever an update is available in any creative Application of cloud, you get this message.

    Just open this look updater for update available and update the application accordingly.

    Then it will be removed from the top.

    Don't need to uninstall all applications until this notification of update Adobe will continue to appear whenever there is an update.

    Is there a difference?  What type of programs are each?

    This means that the 64 bit version of Windows 7 is installed on your Dell PC. 64-bit Windows 7 can also run applications 32 bits (certainly not 16-bit!). When programs are installed, 64-bit programs will install under the "Program Files" folder while 32-bit programs will install in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder I hope this explains. samc1

  • Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

    I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

    The problem has been resolved.

    HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

    When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.
