R7000 Router showing wifi networks that don't exist
After a recent provider outage in my area (spectrum), when my internet came back on and my router started working again there are two new wireless networks on my router. Netgear85 and 5g is what they're called. The two existing wireless networks on my router which I named myself still show up when connecting with my phone or computer but they do not work. I can connect to the old networks but nothing loads and ther is no actual wireless connection. I logged into my router through my computer using the ip and went to both basic and advanced settings. The two old networks that are still displayed as connection options on my phone and computer no longer exist on my routers page. It would be easy to just remove the old networks and rename the new ones that work to the same names as the old ones but I can't find the old ones on my routers settings to delete them. In this pic FarmNet is the old network that no longer works and no longer shows up in my routers settings but is still an option to connect to even after i tell my system to forget it. How can I delete these two old networks that don't show up on my routers settings? Thanks all.
