Need advice re Mac addresses appearing in my network





I'm getting repeated instances of a devices, Mac address only showing, shown as entering my network. Fing show they enter and immediately disconnect. The number are always different ie. They never repeat.
I have changed my password but the intrusions continue. When I find them I immediately block them.
In appears to me that I'm being hacked but I don't know what to do about it.
I looks like my fing device is blocking the attempts.
Have need to worry? Any suggestions?

@Bkris also on your digital fence what have you got you signal percent set to? as having it that bit closer can reduce the number of macs fing picks up reducing signal could help lessen them showing up but still haveenough range to be safe.

@VioletChepil no I don't. I'm going to look into @KING_CRACKER78 suggestion regarding the settings for digital fence.

@Pooh I agree with you. BUT, I live in an apartment with multiple people going by my door daily.
I've cut my radius down a lot and that seems to have stopped the problem for now.
If is the latter, what every one is suggesting should help, if is the first one it could need another approach.
@Hronos they appear on the people tab under notifications and the network tab as a connection. Each connection lasts less than a minute and never get an Ip address.
