Hi there,
I have a window computer, Even I block this computer with the.name to connect to the wifi, once it returns back home from outside, it can connect to the wifi with the same name when the others same names are still blocked. I have a long list of the same computer name now. Could you tell me what is going on please?

Hello @Leomuzi
It sounds like your Windows computer is configured to use a random MAC address, either for all WiFi networks or perhaps just for your home network. That would make it look like a different computer each time, even if it has the same name. I'm not a Windows expert, but this support page may help point you in the right direction to investigate: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-random-hardware-addresses-in-windows-ac58de34...

Thanks.
