I noticed this other question you posted, at the beginning of the month:Do you still own the Google WiFi router? If so, it may have more than one MAC address. My Linksys router has 4 - one for the WAN port ("public" facing side, where you get your IP address from your ISP), one for the LAN side ("private" network side), one for the 2.4 GHz wifi, and the final one for the 5 GHz wifi.What the alert is telling you, is that the Fingbox noticed something (like another Access Point) broadcasting the same SSID you are using. It could either be one you set up, and are using the same SSID name (new), or it could be someone else (rogue).It doesn't mean someone else's Google device is accessing your network. It is letting you know another wifi router/AP/Hotspot is broadcasting the same wifi network name (SSID) as you are. If you set it up, that is fine. If someone else did, it could be an issue.
