My Avast is showing this Wohnny5 and I have no idea what it is or what it does.
Any ideas?

The name of the robot in the movie: Short Circuit (1986), was Johnny5. :-)

Well, at first it was Number5, but then the robot changed his own name to Johnny5.

    Avast for right now.
Somebody nearby has a network called Wohnny5.
It is of no significance at all.
I can currently detect three unknown networks nearby and that is the lowest count I have seen for years. And now there are four.

I know nothing of Avast so I do not know if it is telling you that you have recently connected to that network or merely detected its existence. Perhaps that Show settings button will tell you which.

I changed my router password.
I've opened "settings" in Avast and checked "I trust this network" allow. It's my hope that the next time this person tries to login, they won't be able.?

Undo those highly inappropriate actions.
- Why on earth you want to trust that unknown network is beyond me.
- There is nothing to indicate that anybody has tried to log in to your network. What you have detected is somebody else's network and it has every right to exist.

Was thinking the same and fully agree with @Try3 . Those will also appear when using WiFi. Any number of WiFi
near you will also appear in that list. You just ignore them and connect with yours.

The image speaks volumes. If you’ve done anything untoward, perhaps knock on your neighbours door and say sorry, I thought I was being hacked.

Just enable a Mac filter on your network if you’re that worried about it
