Since you disabled encryption on your Home router/access point, that new entry is most probably a neighbor. Without encryption, your "Home Portal" is wide open for anyone who cares to join (or to harvest your computers data). All WiFi networks should be encrypted to prevent this, Your iPhone should be able to connect to your home WiFi by looking at its SSID and once you enter the appropriate key. You should only need to enter that key the first time, all further connections should be automatic (unless you tell the iPhone to "forget" the connection, Luis.

After disabling Encryption and SSID Broadcast on the Home Portal wireless router, wireless connectivity between my iPhone and the router appears to be working correctly. However, in addition to the iPhone entry, there is a seemingly unnecessary wireless entry in View Network Summary -- Local Devices that is named "new-..." and is Inactive. archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

Got it. The password is the encryption key. I suppose SSID can be turned off after the connection is made for the first time. Thanks. archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone
