Good thought but I didn’t because I do have a guest network set-up with another id. Was wondering if it might ne associated with my Comcast cable tv service...i know comcast broadcasts a “free” wifi hotspot.

    That shouldn't happen with a netgear modem/router. Do you have any close neighbors could be a signal from there router.

      That’s possible, but then again would a neighbor’s access point show-up in my config settings? No other nearby wifi does.
