Hello. My problem is as follows: Last friday (11/27) I copied my wireless settings (incorrectly) to a USB drive to xfer to my new Xbox 360. Afterwards, I was unable to connect to the internet wirelessly due to an incorrect setting on my computer vs the wireless one. I managed to delete my saved networks and add my wireless and it works, though now I am connected to two networks. One is listed as:

<ROUTER NAME>
Access: Local and Internet

and the other is listed as:

Unidentified Network <ROUTER NAME>
Access: Local and Internet

I'm basically connected to multiple networks and I believe it's dragging my connection speed down. Disconnecting from either disconnects me from both and they always read as the same signal strength. Any help on this problem? I'm on Vista 64-bit and have only had this problem since the 27th. Thanks in advance.

Remove a wireless network via Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center >
Manage Wireless Networks in the left pane and right-click the one you want to
Remove.

Then try to reconnect - should pop up as one connection.

I've tried that already; the only wireless listed is my home one. When I disconnect from it and reconnect to it, in my Network and Sharing Center, I can see it connect successfully, but then it automatically connects to this Unidentified Network immediately thereafter. If I choose to disconnect from it I am also disconnected from my original network.
