Unknown Wifi connection found

Under my list of known networks under WiFi in my iPhone, I found an unusual WiFi connection I don’t recall connecting to. Is there a way I can find the location of that WiFi router based on the WiFi address?


Also, should I be concerned of any security issues if a random WiFi router connects to my phone?

No

Your iPhone will not connect to any Wi-Fi network unless you use the iPhone to manually select the name of the network and enter the password for the network.


In other words, a random Wi-Fi router will not connect to your iPhone unless you manually connect the iPhone to the network router's Wi-Fi signal.
