Oh, you are talking about the My Devices screen of the Tether app.

 

I see your phone shows the "key" icon in its status bar. Are your connected via a VPN from another wireless network? If yes, any chance that other wireless network may use some TP-Link router model?

 

By the way, which password do you change to make the unknown device disappear? The TP-Link ID password, the AX23's admin password or the wireless password?

Hi,

 

How can you tell they are access points? Do they show up with some indicative name in the client list?

 

Do you happen to have a screenshot of it that you could share with us?

  @woozle that VPN is part of glasswire firewall app.. but I did notice when I restarted my phone and that key isn't up there. The other device isn't there. So I wonder if it's just something weird with glasswire.. thanks for your help. I think it's fixed
