Ok bit of a strange one...
I have a Hub 4 and i keep getting notifications that there is suspicious activity on my WiFi. I've changed the password for the network from default twice and its still happening. The strange bit comes in when I look at connected devices there are wired devices that I just dont own.The TiVo I do own and it is wired t my Hub 4, the only other device that is wired is my PS4.
The other strange thing is that I get alerts on my S10 that devices are casting on my network...but they arent because i dont own them. After a bit of sleuthing on my s10 in the Google home app i found the peoples names that are using the google home devices and they live nowhere near me.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue because im stumped, ive changed paswords etc and its still happening after password changes. It usually only happens later on at night but it sometimes happens during the day too and when it does our internet gets really really slow.
Thanks in advance

Go into the Hub settings and use the Mac filter to stop them joining.

Hi, i get that by changing the MAC settings it will stop people joining the network but how can they show wired devices on my hub if they arent in my house? Or close enough to get a Wifi signal. Its not just somoene unwanted is on my network.

I don't know to be honest.
What are you more worried about, the fact that they are on your network or the how they got to join the network ?
Just stop all the ones that you don't recognise and see if anyone in the household complains.

Have you done a physical check to confirm that the only two cables coming out of your hub are the two you are expecting - the TiVo and the PS4?
If there was a switch, or an access point hanging off the hub as well then it would report anything connected to that as a wired connection, as it’d see all of the devices over that physical port..
