When this happened to me, I just renamed my tv to "STOP TRYING TO PAIR WITH THIS FUCKING TV"

Some feedback from being sort of on the other end here.

I rent a room and the tenant is on the same WiFi network. They politely messaged me one day saying “I think you’re trying to connect to my TV”. Which as it turns out was our toddler mashing the screen on YouTube Kids. I worked out on YouTube kids how to disable the option in the app.

My point being that it’s not always a rational person you’re dealing with, being able to at least disable the option is essential.

Very tangential, but this reminded me of a much more obscene [0] Wi-Fi name controversy.

Funny! But probably not the wisest way to introduce yourself to the neighbors.
