New Wireless Network found in building

[jspector]

Yesterday, I found a new wireless network in our building "LDSConnect-SR-KL." Is this related to the recent firewall configuration changes? No one at FM or STS seems to know about the new network. They made the firewall changes already.

Any clue? We have no automated facilities function or a FHC in the building.

Thanks,

News to me. The two initials makes me suspect a phone configured as a hotspot.

You might check again when the building is empty.

Nope. My guess would be a rogue AP someone put up for their own purposes. I would hunt it down and pull the plug on it. You can use an app like WiFi Analyzer to sniff it out.

If it's connected to the building's network, I'd first check the clerk and bishop's offices. Then go find the switch (that hopefully you've labeled) and see what wired jack is "active" that shouldn't be. (Note that many computers will have an "active" connection even when powered off - as long as there is power to their AC cord.)
