Grahamfff   10 #1 Posted July 22, 2018 If I look at the wifi networks my iPhone can 'see' there are a number of my neighbours' networks plus the one I use (which is called VMxxxxx (where the xs are digits) and another just called Virgin Media.   If I click on this last one, it tells me the username is vmedwifi/[email protected]   What is this network - why is it there? (If it helps, I've been with VM for years, and my email address is a blueyonder one, not virginmedia).  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

This lets the public login into the Virgin network via your router with their Virgin login details.  The only way to disable it is to call Virgin and get them to do it remotely.
