re: #352 WhatEVs

Could it be a hotspot? Like a MyFi or someone using their phone as a MyFy?

Like I said, I suspect it’s a guest network of some kind offering a connection— specifically via WPS protocol, which invites entry of an 8-digit pin to connect. A wifi survey utility called inSSIDER shows a nearby wifi signal and the same MAC address that I’ve mentioned, and it indicates a Netgear device. However, with Comcast/xfinitywifi playing fast and loose with decades-old MAC conventions, my confidence in the “manuf” part of the MAC being legit is eroded. (Comcast/xfinitywifi fudges the leading two digits of their MAC, as a way of distinguishing their multiple extra nameless wifi signals from a single hardware device.)
