I've been using my neighbor wifi on my desktop for a few weeks and now when I tried to connect it wouldn't work. The thing i noticed is that when I was able to connect it say manual in the wireless connection, and now when I can't it say automatic. The wifi is unsecured and I'am able to get 5 bars, yet I'm unable to connect.

My friend said there might be a problem with the main router. I'm currently using dial up on my computer. I don't understand why I can not connect.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Why don't you ask your neighbor why you can no longer connect to his/her network? I'm sure your neighbor would be more than happy to provide the instructions on how to connect to THEIR network

I'm not sure which neighbor the wifi belongs to. I just wanted to know if it is a router problem(needs a reset) or a security enable problem or maybe both.. I would be more then glad to ask my neighbor, but knowing that there's an conservative asian family living next door, I doubt that the head of the house would be willing to share wifi.

Considering that your neighbor probably still uses this router to connect to the Internet, it's probably not a problem that can be corrected by a reset.   He probably discovered that others were using his bandwidth and implemented some sort of security.   Since your goals are not ethical, I don't think anyone here will tell you much more than that.
