5G wireless
I noticed a 5G wireless network available to me with the same SSID as what I'm using. However it is password protected and the password is not the same as what I use to connect to my SSID now. How do I access this new 5G wireless network please?
is it actually your network?
You could log into your router and see both the ssid and the passwords. That'd show you the password (if it is your network). Plus you could always change the ssid and if the one broadcasting that you think is yours changes, then you're right. it is yours.
