I had a rogue AP show up on my network this afternoon, SSID starting with "WB" and using an Azurewave chipset. Looking at the signal strength in inSSIDer, it was literally right next to me. I checked my phones and none of them were hotspot enabled.
Then it dawned on me - we had a brand new Tempur Pedic bed delivered this morning, complete with fancy adjustable base. I downloaded the owner's manual and sure enough, Tempur has decided to include a 2.4Ghz radio in all of their new adjustable bases to facilitate using a smart phone as a remote control for the bed.
By default, the radio is turned on in AP mode, broadcasting on channel 1. This allows a phone to connect directly to the bed but doesn't allow for internet access (obviously) from the bed or the phone. You can however in the Tempur smart phone app enable "home network mode" turning the bed into a client radio. Then you can control the bed from multiple phones or tablets.
