ive factory reset my router via the router and the IP setting on internet but i still have another network named - sky1234ab-2.4G_2.4G_HSA

@Shotty therefore it is likely the other networks belong to your neighbours.

@Shotty if you have factory reset your black Sky router the only SSID it will broadcast is the one on its label. If you or somebody has previously splitvthe two WiFi bands andcrenamed thec2.4GHz band a full reset would have returned the hub to its factory settings such as reset requires the reset oin to by held down for up to 20 seconds until the power led flashes releasing before that simpky rdboots the hub.
Otherwisectheir is a booster or similar in your property still broadcasting the old SSID.
