Phantom phones on private network

I had one earlyer in the year it just showed up showing as a load of numbers I spent ages trying to find out what it was, I was quite paranoid thinking it was some sort of crack but turned out it was the new LG washing machine the misses forgot to tell me it was a internet controlled one , I felt a bit daft and releaved.

hoho! I found a "Smart Wifi" function on the modem, can't remember it's use after over a year of reading the manual. I deactivated it and for now, no buggers....

I have a weather station that used Wifi for as far as I can tell just for time and if I want to check the weather via the App, The Problem is I bought a NEST setup recently (Netgear ORB I do NOT recommend) So now my network has a single access point SSID. The weather station runs on 2.4 so to pair it you need to use the app on your phone. Well you try telling your phone not to hook to to the 5G long enough to pair it...Hiding SSID, turning down antenna strength, no way to actually disable the bands so its a reboot, get as far away as I can hope it hooks into the 2.4 long enough to complete the pairing. Lets say it took MANY MANY attempts....

its very much the same when trying to control a telescope and camera over the wifi one app for working the cam and another for moving the telescope then another for tracking I could not keep them all connected at the same time so ended up hardwiring them all.

Yea. Its a pass something. Phrase or word. Either way its simple. 12345678.

Use my internet from 1000 yards? The field is not quite that small but I get the point.

Well mine "Shadow" is a lover to family. Hes not loud until you knock on the door. Then he freight trains the window in the door. Scares the crap out of the amazon guy. Offered dude to meet the dog so he can set the fear aside and Shadow get to know him so he doesn't go into protect mode. Nope, Amazon dude wants nothing to do with Shadow. Even with my presence.
Jahova witness dudes came and went real quick.

Testing the dog, if one of my kids is attacked, they are going to be well protected. Hes grabbed my arm on a couple of occasions playing with my son wrestling. He didnt bite down, but he didnt want to let go. Doesnt scare me, I fear no dog bites. But whomever wants to challenge the dog is welcome to.

But yea, hes a good boy. Super family oriented.

Yeah, folks forget about those "smart" devices. Washing machines, refrigerators, Ring door bells, watches - you name it. What I don't like is many don't properly identify themselves. My TV appears as LG OLED55C7P (the model number) but my LG Blue-ray player appears simply as "network device".

Your smart modem should never have appeared as a phone device.

Hes grabbed my arm on a couple of occasions playing with my son wrestling. He didnt bite down, but he didnt want to let go.

I had a lab/setter mix do the same thing to me. Only her grip would keep getting tighter and tighter until I let my son go. Then she would immediately let go, give my son a sniff, then lick my face.

One of the best dogs I ever had.
