Unknown devices tapping into my wifi
It's a secured WiFi connection but since I started using Ding, it has picked up two unknown devices almost everyday now using my WiFi. How do I get rid of these permenantly?

I imagine others might have different of better ideas but these are a few I came up with that might help or get you started locking things down.
@ Mr. Sas. I like the photo. Yes and yes
The second question is do you have your guest WiFi turned on?
Last, is do you have a newer Alexa device? This is relevant as amazon has enabled by default a service called Sidewalk, this allows anyone to connect to a hidden SSID while using an Amazon service and use your Alexa as an access point for shopping, music, and other specific services. there are several other reasons for additional devices showing up as windows 10's nearby sharing feature but that's a little more in-depth and likely not what you're seeing. Can you post the MAC addresses of these devices, just the first 6 will be sufficient, from there we can determine the manufacturer and possible use.
