[SOLVED] Connecting to a neighbour's wifi instead of my own.

[eklucam]

Hi, my wifi appears to be doing something very strange currently.

When I connect to my normal wifi network, Windows allows me to connect and seems to work fine.
However I cannot access my normal default gateway (192.168.1.1), but somehow am able to access a different gateway (192.168.0.1) of a neighbour's wifi. I can also see devices on this network and have the public IP of this network.

Does anyone have any idea what this problem is caused by or how I can fix it?



My wifi dongle is an Inamax AC1200 and my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
My router is a ZyXEL VMG1312 and neighbour's router is a Sky Hub

First make sure the SSID on your router is different. Your neighbor may have a open connection or some guest connection. Your computer may have learned that network and at times will use it. You should be able to delete/forget that network connection. Make sure your equipment is not set to auto connect to open networks.

Also check the channel your WIFI router is using. It is possible that it is using an inaccessible channel. Manually set the channel to 1, 6, or 11 and check. Having the channel set to "Auto" can cause problems.
