I call mine “NSA Secure”
Probably freaks out my neighbors.
Put some tape over that camera!
Apparently Verizon and Xfinity are trying to extend their network range by having their routers also serve as wireless access points for other customers in your area. The only way to prevent this is to log into your Verizon or xfinity (Comcast) account and opting out.
I see Vendome beat me to the punch on this. Good for you, Vendome!
OK, NSA_ENCRIPT is now on line... lol!

“I saw a router named “FBI_VAN” in my list once.”

I used the name FBI Surveillance as my WIFI name for several weeks. I decided it may be in my best interest to change it.
You can leave your hat on.
DOH!
I pay good dollar for that pool install as well!
but I have no Verizon except for a phone.
Number of devices may be causing it...especially with the WiFi boosters out there to ensure good connectivity....pulled out of the garage a few days ago and told my phone to take me to a new restaurant we wanted to try....got about 250 yards away and the phone said the connection was lost...had 4 bars and decided that the home WiFi had been being used up to that point and had to wait a few seconds for the signal to diffuse enough that it didn’t interfere with using the towers...will try to remember to take a walk and see how far I stay connected to the home router.
I kid you not... It could be your smart meter if you have one. They update using a wireless network grid through all your neighbors to the end data reception point which then relays the data by cell signal to the main center.
It’s probably your cat. They are more advanced than we know.

All cats have wifi now!
The old models with USB ports got a lot of people scratched up
