My laptop connects to my home wifi. On reboot, the name gets appended with a number that increments on successive connections (but only after boot cycles). I've read that Windows is creating new profiles and I've actually deleted some of these registry profiles. How can I prevent this from happening? The SSID and password are stored.
It gets worse. These new successive SSIDs are recognized as Public Networks by my Kaspersky software which then sends a warning about unsecured networks when I connect. I have to keep changing it back to trusted. I never remember how and have to keep looking up the instructions.
This doesn't happen ALL the time, but enough to be a problem and waste time. If anyone has any fix for this, I'd really appreciate it.
Also, is there an easy way to manage the network connections and delete the extras like I can do in Vista?
