Network 3
I recently bought a new SKY Dlink router for my mother after her old router broke. After connecting the router (ethernet cable) and looking at the network map instead of saying connected to SKY it sais Network 3.
Can anyone tell me what this is? Is Sky still my ISP ?

Re: Network 3
If you are referring to the Network Map in Win7, it will show a different network when you connect a different router or change from ethernet to wifi. I have changed routers and adapters so often, I am now on Network 15. If you are connecting, you can only connect to Sky.

Re: Network 3
You can rename those network names and also merge any that are duplicates.
