Two wireless connections

When my netbook connects wirelessly I see two connections, one is MYSSID (not my actual SSID) and the other one is MYSSID 2. I would like to get rid of the MYSSID 2 connection.  I have looked through all of the router settings in an attempt to delete or disable the extra connection with no success.

Desktop Computer Windows XP SP3

Netbook Computer Windows 7

You are making us shoot into the dark.

Answer as many as you can:

#1 What is the brand and model of your router?

#2 What is the brand and model of your modem?

#3 What Wireless Manager are you using on your Netbook?

#4 On your Desktop, do you see the same SSID's OR only one?

#1 What is the brand and model of your router?: Actiontec MI424-WR Rev. D

#2 What is the brand and model of your modem?: The modem on my Desktop is a U. S. Robotics 56K Voice Host Int.

#3 What Wireless Manager are you using on your Netbook?: I don"t know where I would find this information.

#4 On your Desktop, do you see the same SSID's OR only one?: My desktop is connected to the router via ethernet cable, so I don't see SSIDs on my desktop.

I apologize for not being able to provide the definitive answers to all of the questions, but its the best I could do for now. Thanks for your response and I hope you can help me solve this problem (which I'm not actually sure is a problem).
