Default login id became a network?

I am "rescuing" my old nexus 7 2013 & Nook HD Plus as the "latest"
roms have been compiled for those old tablets. Will be interesting
to see how well the tablets run with old hardware.

Doing the tablet setups, I see that my win10 login id is considered
as a network that I can connect to, but I was not able to do so.

As I have the Netgear X4S router connected to the cable modem,
I was able to check for attached devices, did not include my login-id.
What was included in the network map is my computer's name as
a connected device.

My win10 has the 'latest' upgrades as of Feb, 2019. I also have IIS
running because it was installed when trying to get linux working
on the hyper-v partition (had thought that it would help or something).

But how the hell could my win10 login-id become a network??!!
Hope that is just a locally visibly by the android tablets. Will have
to do more searching via google.........

Your low level intelligence could be one of the factors.

Good. Go and do your searching via google or even Bing until you find a
solution or until you get tired and give up.

I suspect you'll need to explain further what it is you're asking?

Thought I did.

My android tablets wifi config shows my win10 login-id on the
list of wifi 'accessible' for connection. I do not have a wifi card
installed on the computer; the computer is connected to a wifi
router which has tablets connected to it.

The router is connected to a cable modem. My win10 login-id has
never been listed as a discovered wifi ssid on a tablet or laptop
until after a recent update. Also the win10 login-id is not the same
as for the id used for installation of win10.

Will have to check to see if the wifi ssid with the login-id is still
listed when the computer is shutdown. Forgot doing that.

My user-id is still listed as a wifi network with the computer turned
off. Wonder if it is because I have 2 drive partitions with share
options so my tablets can access files when needed.

Unable to use the user-id's password for entry tho...

If the ssid you're seeing is different from your windows login-id, what
makes you think it's even related to your login-id?

Good thinking

My user-id is still listed as a wifi network with the computer turned
off.


so "some other" device is configured for the ssid you're seeing, mobile
phone with a hotspot? another wifi router you'd forgotten about
somewhere, neighbour pranking you?

Wonder if it is because I have 2 drive partitions with share
options so my tablets can access files when needed.


highly unlikely

keep turning equipment off until the mystery ssid goes away.

Solved! It is Comcast & win10(?). Comcast has been going out
several times a day the past 2 or 3 weeks; site claims that
"scheduled maintenance" is being done at my area.

The user id "network" is in the gateway modem for the 2.4 ghz which
I had thought was for the "hotspot" because of the flashing led. Did
read on comcast forum that connecting a router to the gateway's
lan port don't go thru a double nat to get onto the internet.

The gateway modem has my userid as the ssid for its 2.4 ghz wifi
& listed as a 'private network'. I guess that when I logon to the
gateway to 'configure' it (before configuration became limited)
it ensnared my userid for the compute that I used for access.
All items for the userid net are greyed out & nothing can be
edited/modified. Wonder if any other isp is doing the same
thing with their gateway modem.....

Guess that info being sent for connections include one's uuid on
the computer/device now? as well as source/destination as part
of the header protocols?

The situation did help me decide to enable ssid brocast as I found
that a wifi analyser displays hidden ssid nets as hidden along with
their mac. No wonder it took so very long time to find or try to
find my network after entering the ssid & password with so many
hidden nets listed. Re-enabling ssid broadcast has a quick entry
unless their is a problem with the tablet's rom or chipset...
