My Fing notification showed that a device made by Tiang henxinhuifeng Technology joined my network. I immediately blocked it and now for the past hour it has been trying to join my network. Any ideas what this might be? Should I be concerned my password has been breached?

It could be anything:
a) It could be a best guess based upon a randomized MAC address
b) It could be the name of a manufacturer of a WiFi card in an IoT device. Do you have any Wyze cameras per chance?

Sounds like it's a known issue with Wyze cameras and a firmware change - lot's of folk seem to be generally unhappy about it!People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

@VickyB , in case you get this again with another rogue device, try to google the name. 9 times out of 10, one of the returns google gives you will point you in the right direction.
@VioletChepil , what VickyB is experiencing and the steps to resolve might be worth a sticky or a help item if not already one. I know I’ve experienced this numerous times but how to sleuth this may not be obvious to Fing users.
