unsecured networks show up on my list of networks

just replaced my orbi routers today with another brand not netgear, i think i have unsecured networks now, 

my new set up is secured, no problem, but i see 1secured unidentified network and 1 unsecured unidentified network.

both of those have full bars of power, just like my new router, i tryed to log into unsecured one but could not log on with my ssid.

i do have several ring cameras that tell u they are not secured by themselves but are thru your network password

i am hoping its a neighbor who doesnt realize his networks are open, how can i erase all netgear router stuff, genie is still showing up thanks

There are a lot of different issues in this post.  I'll attempt to address some of them.

It might help to identify what you installed.

Were these networks present before the Orbi was removed?

By definition, an unsecured WiFi network has no password.  Trying to log on with a password won't work.
Did you try to log on with no password (i.e. blank)?

i am hoping its a neighbor who doesnt realize his networks are open, how can i erase all netgear router stuff, genie is still showing up thanks  I don't know what to make of "Genie still showing up".  The app is still on your phone?  Genie still shows you have Netgear products and you want to erase yourself from the Netgear database?

If you are using Non NG wifi routers, then you'll need to contact the Mfr of this new router and ask for help and information.
