Is my MacBook being monitored on my home network?

On my MacBook on Finder > Locations > I see 2 things - MacBoor Air and Network. In Network I see a blue computer icon named 'mymodem' which only appears randomly and out of the blue. I do not own a PC. When I click on the 'mymodem' it is asking for user name and password to connect to this 'server'.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

It is most likely a printer.
