Solved What Are All These Devices That Showed Up on the LAN Scan?

  • 0

“THESE” What is a cisco spvtg? I did a LAN scan of my network and at least 15 different one’s showed up plus several other devices from netgear, ZyXEL, Motorola Mobility, ASUSTEK, Belkin, and COMPAL. I only use my Mac, an ipad, and my iphone in my home. I think my ex was quite busy when I was gone at work!! I have a restraining order out on him now since I found out he was a sociopathic deviant, but I’m certain that Sony smart t.v. he hung in my bedroom wasn’t just for watching Netflix!! How do I stop this?? How do I prove he did something like this to my home? What do these devices do??? Help! He’s hacked into everything I have, I’ve been cleaning everything (new accounts, passwords, OS, phone, locks, internet provider, etc.) for 3 months now! As far as I can tell, he was at it for over 6 months with free range to my home and passwords!i had no clue until after I kicked him out. I’m terrified of my tvs, computer, my phone, network, and even my son’s PS3, and Wiiu!

      Very valid point by Wanderer. I would however support CurtR’s advice re’ ensuring the router is protected with a suitable encrypted key (a new one); and also to change the SSID to something less obvious. And even better to actually hide the SSID – not to broadcast it (after carefully noting what it is and ensuring there is a hard copy, or record of it somewhere safe – and known to the poster only).

      Equally with a little help from us pholks here possibly the lady can be encouraged to employ mac filtering too; as that is another (albeit basic) level of security; and the more the better?
