I still can't see the image that you posted. A moderator has to approve it to be able to see it.
I see that you have a Macbook. You can use the native wifi analyser in MacOS as follows:
- Press Option key + Click on the Wi-Fi menu item in OS X
- Choose “Open Wireless Diagnostics”
- Go to the “Window” menu and choose “Scan” to immediately open the Wi-Fi Stumbler tool built into Mac OS X
- Within the Scanner tool, click on the Scan button to scan for available networks
- This will open the wireless card to detect all possible nearby wifi networks, effectively stumbling onto available wireless routers and discovering details about those networks.
In this scan you will see all your networks. There are networks with no SSID, those are the ones broadcasted by your Router for Backhaul. You can identify them by the MAC address which is close to the MAC address of the other networks of yours.
