[QUOTE="Wilber187, post: 1748436, member: 389426"] Hi, I wondered if you guys could offer us some guidance. We have a router/access point provided by the broadband provider and one (only) wifi extender. The SSID is, say, VMxxxxx and the wifi extender's is VMxxxxx_EXT, both use the same password. We've just noticed another SSID has appeared in range as VMxxxxx_EXT_EXT, which when I try to connect to it does not use the same password. It persists even when I unplug the wifi extender. The signal strength (number of bars) seems to vary wherever you are in the house but it is full strength at the front of the house, which is where the router/AP is. I've raised a call with the provider, Virgin Media, but they were next to useless. Does anyone have any theories and/or any economic method to locate this access point please? Thank you very much.
