Thats something that can't be disabled. Just because other wifi signals are not showing the Company name doesn't mean they are not being broadcast. I presume the app controls this and can only give the company name if you were connected to there wifi signal then the company name maybe seen on that app. Something to ask the mfr of this app about. The app maybe detect the router mfr and then filling it in under the company name column. Something NG doesn't control.
