Somewhere, in our house, is apparently an old wifi node, broadcasting a wireless network.
I cannot find the damn thing.
It's plugged in, broadcasting a network I set up, and I cannot find it to turn it off. We've checked every power outlet we can find.
Anyone have any hints on how to find one of the bastards?
@AskTheDevil Maybe a WiFi scanner app for your cell phone?
@AskTheDevil Try WiFi Analyzer app. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh33n0n
@nonayadambidnes It is telling me what I already knew. There is a spurious wifi pod somewhere in my house running on the same frequency, at near the same strength, as the actual one we're using.
I can't tell whether I am close or far away from it. I can tell that it's basically as strong as the good signal, so both networks are acting cruddy.
@danalan @nonayadambidnes Yes! 😆
I've been trying to sleuth out what I could possibly have been thinking at the time.
They say you should know yourself, and you'd think I would by now, but somehow, I cannot solve the mystery of where did I put a whole device?
