My internet is currently unavailable, so I'm relying on my phone's hotspot. It still displayed the default name "Chance's Galaxy Z Fold4." When I tried to connect today, I noticed a network with a similar name but ending in "2." It looks like someone might have detected my connection and created another network with the same identifier. This raises concerns about privacy and security. Living in a city means others could have seen me using it too. I'm also wondering if Windows' hotspot settings are interfering.

They keep changing names on both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, yet the network ID stays the same.

Is there a password set for the hotspot? If yes, it might be a fake Wi-Fi connection you're encountering.

Sure, I'm definitely using the internet right now. Just a quick correction—"ethernet 4" is outdated, but it's working fine... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
