Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi everyone,

I recently installed the Deco M4 mesh with 3 nodes.

 

I see my main network on my wifi network list (on my phone for example) and its protected, but I can also see Deco_CE78 on the wifi list on my phone that isn't password protected. In my settings guest wifi is disabled.

 

Any clue why it's showing a Deco network that's unprotected and how to stop it? I received a connection notification to my network about a device called null at 3am (not sure what it is, black listed for now) so I want to make sure my network is secure.

 

Thank You

Power off all your Deco units. If you still see Deco_CE78 in the list of available WiFi networks, that must be WiFi SSID from one of your neighbors.

@Alexandre. 

 

Thank you, power cycling helped! Didn't need to cycle all of them looks like the issue was one of the additional node the main unit was fine.
