I can't sleep so picked up my phone to read for a bit. We have a problem with our wifi which is due to have an engineer visit next week. I couldn't get on to the wifi so toggled it off to use data.

In settings, when I toggled it off, it shows me other networks available. All I assume are neighbours with talk talk, BT etc and all password protected.

With the exception of one. It came up with DS's name then room and some other random numbers. I am not sure what this is? Is it his mobile phone signal so like a hot spot I could have joined? I'm not very good with technology but would like to know why this came up as a network to join.

I would presume hotspot. Is he having the same internet issues and using his phone to access the internet on another device eg tablet/pc?
