hi @Maddogmiller it is quite possible to have a network close by in an urban area, i cant comment or establish if it’s a “creepy neighbour” though. In the first instance, as long as your wifi access has a good (& long) password your network should be secure, if you aren’t sure then change your password. There is lots of information on google on what a secure password is.

5.6 meters is only 18.3 feet.  You could be picking up a neighbors device/network.
If you're on a mobile device, GPS could be off making it appear closer than it really is.
