New router - Hidden network and Routerboard.com under disconnected devices

[Marc95]

Hi - just had a new router (as had issues with last one). During set up my laptop connected via wifi to 'Hidder Network' there was no password or antyhing. I disconnected from it but am concenred about what it might be. Also on the my Sky app, in the devices section there are three entries for something called 'Routerboard.com' that are disconneced but were showing as connected earlier on when setting up the new route. Anyopne have nay ideas/experience about these things?

Thanks

Is your address likely to be in reach of WiFi from neighbouring properties?

I believe Routerboard is a MikroTik brand name (typically for hobbyist networking hardware)

Thanks for responding. I am close to neighbours. It was all quite weird as the hidden netowrk and these Routerboard.com connections only happened as was setting up the new router. Ai (for what it's worth) seems to think that due to the timiing of everything that it was most likely linked to the new router set up. All a bit confusing tbh. Thanks

More likely to be signal spilling over from another location, I'd think.
