A device called Colleens s20 just connected to my wifi at midnight. How could a stranger access my wifi and how can I figure out who they are? Ip address and Mac address turn up nothing.

Did this device connect again after you changed your wifi password?

What level of security are you using.. WEP or WPA or WPA2 or WPA3 ?

Do you have a guest network turned on?
