WINS Server suddenly appeared in WiFi Connection Settings

On my 2018 Mac mini a WINS Server - 192.168.3.56 - has suddenly appeared in my WiFi Connection Settings.


If I remove it, it reappears almost instantly.


Why has it appeared? What is it doing? I have never seen an entry in the WINS server list on any of my Macs before.

Mac mini 2018 or later
