Unknown devices connected to my deco
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Two more things to consider, as long as you are confident these are not devices from your household.
1. Do you have Guest Network enabled? You can check it in WiFi Settings in Deco app. If you do, by default it is enabled without password. Disable it and see if it helps. This is sample of WiFi Settings page, Guest Network is enabled:
2. If these unknown devices keep appearing, even after you confirmed Guest Network is disabled, it means they connect to Main Network. You can hide it from everyone, that might help. In WiFi settings, touch Main Network Name (SSID), a new screen will appear. In that screen, change name (SSID) of your Main Network to something completely different from before, change password to something that is not easy to guess, and enable "Hide this network from WiFi lists" setting.
You will have to manually reconfigure every WiFi device in your household to connect to new SSID, but this is worth spending time doing. Also, do not share new SSID and its password with anyone in your household for some time, just to make sure nobody shares it without your knowledge.
