I was on the internet thru WI-FI and all of a sudden I was disconnected a new connection popped up on my network list? It was Ross House.ynm??? That is my last name and I have never seen that before??? 3 of us were using the WI-FI and we were all disconnected. No one clicked on the new network name. We all rebooted and the name disappeared and our regular connect named appeared. Was this an attempt to hack us??

Do you have any google home minis or anything like that?
I believe .ynm is their connection. If internet went down it was probably it trying to broadcast to connect back itself.
