Help
When at home my laptop only sees my BT Home hub. I would have tought the wifi could see other local networks. I wan to take the laptop out and do not know the settings (auto discover is on) to be sure it will see other networks (maybe it islocked into just the one).
Advice appreciated.

Hi, Happy.
Assuming you're using Windows 7:
Click the tiny network icon in the notification area (the tiny icons next to the time and date in lower-right corner of the screen) for a list of all WiFi networks in the area.
Be warned, however, that your unlikely to be able to get onto many of them. Private ones are usually password protected (as yours should be). Even public WiFi services, such as those in cafes, are usually restricted in some way so that only paying customers can use them.

be sure you have your wifi adpter turn on, then it can automatically detect wifi networks within the range
