As I understand it, "wash" reports on WPS enabled WiFi networks. If your networks are not WPS enabled, then they shouldn't appear.

Having said that, WPS has a major security flaw and should be disabled in your router if you are interested in network security.

As far as I am concerned, unless you are setting up a large number of wireless devices on a new or temporary network, then using WPS is just laziness. Connecting to a WiFi network is normally a one time operation for each device.

For setting up multiple Windows devices, I normally create a text file on a USB pen drive that holds the network pass phrase. Then I can copy and paste the pass phrase into each PC in turn.

I hope this helps.

well, completely unrelated to your intelligent linux (or unix?) question is that wifi range extenders are $20 on ebay.
