    Need help here guys. I just got a new Verizon jetpack portable router. I named it the same name as the other jetpack. Every time I connect I get this same message and when I put the cursor over the wifi icon in my Windows 7, it's showing the router name and putting a number behind it every time I connect. Like "Name of Router 1, Name of Router 2, etc.... " I can't find the connected verizon jetpack in the list of "Manage Wireless Networks" either. Suggestions??

    For those reading this thread, a Verizon Jetpack is a mobile hotspot device.
    If this is the model you have, go here.

    Note: I don't have Verizon cellphone service and I have NEVER used a mobile hotspot device so I can not offer any help.

    I think there is something wrong with my windows 7 professional. The jetpack router I have is orbic speed orb400lbvzrt. Why is my computer now showing this wifi connection in Adapter settings? and why would it show the name of the jetpack and continue to assign the next sequential number after each time I connect

    It's a problem in Win7. Deleting them doesn't help because of the registry entries. :(

    It's never happened before. Like when I replaced an ATT router and named it the same name as the previous router. How do I fix the registry enteries? Also why would this jetpack router not automatically save in the wireless adapter settings once connected? Thank you.
