last week I connected to a wi-fi spot that was not proctected. today when i searched for it, it did not come out on my available w/connections. I know stills exists because i saw another guy sitting next to me using the unproctected wireless internet. On the other side my laptop reads other 2 connections but there are secured wi/fi. Any ideas? thank you

or there is another but secure wifi using the same channel (probably the default one)which is producing a stronger signal and swamping the one you used previously
