Hello, when turn on wifi, on the router list, there is a wifi device shown under "device" below the regular routers list. This indicated it had connected to my computer before, perhaps without my knowing. How could I remove it and its related setting stored in my computer?
OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Take a screenshot and post it here.
It is on wifi list of menu bar. "Device" is above join other network/above create network, could "setup" be a computer-to-computer network name? I have not created such C2C network... Also, found a keychain named as : com.apple.ids: localdevice4e20d323-dcbc-5100-96a5-8944aeb7c032-AuthToken. Are these related and how to remove it if on my mac. Wonder if that causes nternet browsing goes slow or got stuck from time-to-time...
It's probably a printer, a new one and that is it's network setup SSID
You can't remove it (unless it is yours) because it is not connected, it is available for connect, that is all.
Hello Expert, my home printer was an old one, installed as local and not wifi-supported. When click to connect "setup", it shows computer-to-computer network connected. Would you advise how to verify setup SSID belongs to printer else other devices? Many thanks.
Certain new out of the box Printers will create their own temporary network-of-one that looks just like that, so that it can be spoon-fed the actual network-name, IP address, encryption method, and password.
That may be a printer one of your neighbors is trying to set up. If they are successful at setting it up, it will then switch over from being its own tiny network to being a station on the owners' network. Then it will no longer be visible to you.
