Sure but if everyone has WPA2 encryption enabled on their network, such as is the case in my neighbourhood, then there is no network for the TV to connect to anyways.


Amazon whisper net etc from ring doorbells and other privacy violating things come to mind as possible connections.

Mostly theoretical though.


Couldn't a device looking for wifi just connect wherever you or your neighbours hit the wps button on their wifi router?


Don’t know. I never use the WPS button, nor have I ever seen anyone else use it either.

But I think you are right this could potentially let the device connect itself :(
