Yes, all my devices - laptop, mobile, and tablet show up along with my router.

When I have run WiFi Inspectors scans, it scans all of my devices on my network at once.

Periodically, these devices when in range will connect to your network.

I changed my settings to always scan new connections to see if this is what you are seeing and I got a small toaster popup today.

See attached image, is this what you are seeing ?

All I remember the popup saying was that I was connected to a new network. I do not think it said  to what network. I wish I had taken a picture of it.

I have it set to scan new networks and rescan home networks automatically and notify me when new devices join my network.

I wish I had started using WiFi Inspector sooner.

Well that is what I have just set mine back to to do this test (outlined in my last post) otherwise I would not have it set to rescan home networks automatically.  So ordinarily I don't see any of these popups, considering my current router settings I mentioned before and yours appear to be the same as mine.
