I am not getting mixed up at all, I do have some knowledge of tech and considerable knowledge of PC hardware, I am a little hazy when it comes to router settings though.
I DO KNOW the difference between other network SSIDs and my own.
When I open the network map on my PC I see my own PC, my son's PC, my router name and any other devices that are currently connected to the router either wirelessly or wired.
If I wanted to connect a wireless device, for example my phone, I would scan for available networks from that phone and would get a display of nearby networks and be informed of their signal strength and whether they are secure.
