What is the "SYNC_AP" SSID
This has been puzzling me for months. At first, I thought I was some WIFI IoT device that was in setup mode and I'd just forgotten about it. However, today, I had to move the channel of my main ...
Mikey94025 , you are spot on. Yes, I do have a BroadLink Smart Motion Sensor with Hub. When I unplugged it, the WIFI SSID went away. When I plugged it in, it came back.
Now, I just have to workout with Broadlink what this is and why its there.
The confusion was that the WIFI channel shifted when I changed my Orbi WIFI channel - thus making me think it was related to my Orbi system.
I had previously tried searching for the term "SYNC_AP" before, but no hits came up - the posting about it on the UAE Amazon web site must have been recent.
Thanks again Mikey94025 !
Its got a totally different mac address and wireless N.
The Orbi's are wireless AC or AX.
I'd be betting on it being an IoT device that you didn't setup or a neighbors device that wasn't setup.
