Possible Network Issue

Hello All

Possible Network Issue, some stuff in Windows 11 Pro Network area that i don't know whom the heck it is

Wireless should be secure, as password is strong supposedly

I can change it if need be, but would be alot of devices to reconfigure

Nest Camera
Gaming Laptop-HP Omen
Samsung 32inch 1080P Connected via Wireless
Samsung 49Inch 4K TV connected via Ethernet
Comcast Wireless TV box
Android Samsung S22 Phone
Apple Iphone 13 Mini x2
HP P6-2133W Desktop connected wirelessly
One Amazon Tablet Wireless

Think that is all of our devices unless i missed one lol

You haven't said which device is not yours.

• One of the TVs?
• The phone?

Denis

The Phone i forgot to mention that was the one concerned on oops

TVs at least 1 of those might be ours down there

My TV up here is Samsung 32 Inch 1080P TV
Downstairs one 4k Samsung 49Inch Model

So i could see if it seen 2 TVs

3 might be one of the neighbors in the Townhome Complex

I assume the phone is not connected by USB to the computer.
Does Settings, Devices list the phone [which would show that you have set up a Bluetooth connection to it]?
Does Settings, Devices list the TVs? All three?
I often have to leave Settings, Devices showing for several minutes before it shows any devices at all.


All the best,
Denis

Nope no phones connected via USB to any of the computers.

Only looks to list 2 on the Device list on the Gateway Modems Connected Device list
(Arris XB7 Gateway Modem)

Same for Xfinity App on My Galaxy Phone

Phone Though stopped showing when i looked in network area again But its been there off and on for at least 2-3 months now, before i never worried on it, as i'm like well do have a long wifi password, so figured it should be secure

On my WIFI network, I see 10 other WiFi networks around the neighborhood. All but one is locked and protected. The only ones I'm interested in are my two networks and my printer. The rest are meaningless to me.

I use to have a application that would sniff out all of the WiFi networks in your local area. If you let it sit and work, it would find a lot of networks. I use to run it every so often just to see what was out there. From my house I could see 56 WiFi networks that were not mine. Most were protected. I never bothered to actually access any of them. I wish I could remember what that application was. I can't seem to find it any more.

Clicking on the Wi-Fi icon doesn't show the networks that are close by. I can see all of my networks and my two neighbors. They do have them password protected.

The OP is referring to File explorer, Networks and included a diagram that illustrates that.
