NETGEAR44 WIFI SSID broadcast from VMB4000r3. Device is named NTGRBS.

I have a WiFi network appearing regularly with such a strong signal, it must be coming from my Arlo Pro 2. Firmware version 1.16.2.4_3505_f4757f1. The SSID shows as NETGEAR44 and the device is named NTGRBS.

Does anyone else see this SSID if you have an Arlo Pro 2?

That is one of the default SSIDs for Netgear routers. Arlo and Netgear went through a divorce a while back, so, unless it is really old, that isn't likely to be an Arlo hub.

Any SSID from Arlo looks like: ARLO_VMB_xxxxx
