If you haven't renamed your wireless network, it's possible that you're seeing a neighbor's wireless network (router) with the same default name given by the manufacturer. Go into the router's setup (web page) and change the wireless network name. It's most likely on the main wireless settings page. It may be labeled "SSID".
(I recommend not using a name that would indicate where the wireless network is located, such as your name or address. Some people recommend "hiding" the SSID for security purposes, but this offers virtually no additional security. But do make sure that you've given your wireless network a good, long password or passphrase.)
After you've done this, see whether or not you still see two of the same name.
