I was using wifi analyzer to pick the best channel for my wifi and while i was on it i picked up a strange but very strong signal. it didnt have an ssid just a question mark and the wifi interface number in parentheses. and normally on the side it shows the manufacturer of the wifi module(ithink) such as Arris or gemtek. but this signal only showed <local admin>. i know its a 5g network and that would explain the strong signal. but my home sits on 3 lots and i have a pretty large distance between neighbors and from what i know, 5g networks don't travel that far and keep such a strong signal. its seems fishy and i really wanna get to the bottom of it. any tools that could help me uncover a ssid and or ip/mac address. i don't intend to hack or anything like that. i just want to figure out where this signal is coming from and how its so strong.
I also found out its broadcasting on a much higher channel than traditional 5g networks which only go up to 23. its broadcasting on 153.
