How can I remove a wireless network?

[Lawend]

My roommate decided we needed a new router because the wifi signal was not strong enough in her room. So she got one, and despite my telling her to wait for me to get home or just set it up to our current wifi network specifications she tried to set up a new one. She couldn't really figure it out and in the end just waited for me to set it up with our current network. Somehow, she managed to set something up though, because what she started to set up will show up every once in a while and the signal will start shooting off that network rather than our original one. (Ex: connected to network A. Only network A shows up to log into. Suddenly network A stops working and Network B magically appears and I now have to log in to Network B to get anything to work. Even though network A is still there, showing up) This is very annoying to be in the middle of something, having it all of a sudden time out because the wifi network I was connected to is no longer sending out a signal because this other network is sending it out. How can I remove what my roommate did and just have our 1 wifi network? Is this as simple as just doing a factory reset? Any help appreciated.

Factory reset, that's all you need to do.

In order to configure her new router (as an access point, I believe that's what you want to do), you need to connect to her new router via ethernet, makes it a lot easier.

Many newer routers have ez setup for access points in their settings menu.

To me it sounds like you have TWO routers now. You can't do that without expecting problems such as (like radios stations) them interfering with one another. Simply remove your old router you had or any of the 'old equipment' and connect to roomies new hardware, done. if this is not feasible, then it sounds like everyone needs to get their OWN SEPARATE Internet service providers.

Though WHY you have routers at all I don't know, any of the ISPs include in their Modem/Router/Wifi built in, and you just have everyone connected to that instead.
