Same SSID name of two networks

[Faheem Afridi]

Hi . Hope you all will be fine. I am stuck in a problem. I used to connect to a network. But now another network with same ssid appear. And in default phone wifi it shows one with strongest signals. The problem is I do not have key to other network and do not whose network it is. So I install an app from store named Wifi Connections. It shows both network but when I tried to connect through it nothing happens. The network I wanted to connect has low signal strength than the other. Is there any other way to connect to the preferred network. Here is the screenshot.

Welcome to Android Central! Does the main network that you're used to connecting to belong to you? Do you have access to that router? If so, the easiest thing to do is to log into the router's settings via your computer browser and changing the SSID. Refer to your router's manual to learn how.

No it does not belong to me. I tried to access router but the owner has changed router username password

I suggest you think about subscribing to wi-fi yourself, rather than using someone else's network without their knowledge.

Actually the person who installed them changed the router pass. And he is a friend.

Oh, ok. Then get in touch with him or her, and ask to change the SSID to something unique. That's relatively simple to do on a router.
