A strange gadget is always trying to connect back to my router, no matter what I do about it.
A strange gadget is always trying to connect back to my router, no matter what I do about it.
Hello there! There is a gadget plugged into my router. It seems to keep switching between 2.4GHz and 5G sometimes and then breaks the connection. There are three more gadgets like that that I don't know what they do, but it scares me because maybe one of them is doing something bad like a DDOS attack or some other weird thing. Even though nothing has happened so far, it still tries to connect to my router even after I changed my password to something different.
Why would it think they are connecting? They might be trying to join and get stuck, yet the messages keep showing up somewhere anyway.
Update: I just learned that those names are from my brother's phone and my mom's phone. They're using iPhones, which made me think it was a different device. So I looked online to see what they mean and found out they are the actual names of their devices when connected. But it keeps reconnecting over and over again so I don't know why this is happening.
