Hi,
I was trying to solve my lagging network so I used Inssider and discovered that an unsecured hidden network was congesting my wifi. Thinking that it was from my neighbors, the solution was to change my wifi channel. But again after experiencing a slowdown, I again used Inssider and again the same unsecured hidden network has moved on my current channel. Upon further inspection, the unsecured hidden network with a mac address that has an unknown vendor was coming from my Xbox. I tried configuring the Xbox but I don't see any option to disable its wireless capabilities (as an access point). The Xbox is connected using an ethernet cable and not on wifi. The only way to get rid of the hidden network is by unplugging the Xbox.
Is there something installed in the Xbox that I am not aware?
Thanks.
