Non nighthawk router
My question is why would a nighthawk 2200 router show up on my wifi list when I’ve never downloaded or owned one??? I can’t get it to go away and I’m not sure why or where it came from in the last update from apple on my iPhone 7? Does anyone out there know???

- I have only an eero router with wave cable I should add along with Norton VPN and security but eero is the router so I don’t believe there should be a nighthawk in there as no one has put one in our house and the neighbor’s list is still down below my list so I’m worried that it’s something done dishonestly as I’ve had much trouble with a former friend doing all she can to hack into my life
- I’ll stay on this site for awhile to see if someone smarter than I can help or has an idea why that would be before I have to call and have long wait times on the phone tomorrow thank you!
