DIRECT- Network Appeared

Just noticed a new network available in my house. It is called DIRECT- and is password protected. The signal seems very strong in some parts of my house and is on Channel 1 which is the channel I have my network set to. There are now new devices in the house that might use a direct connection. Wondering if a neighbour has something. How can I try to find out what and where it is? I can see a MAC address 96:a1:a2:64:14:6b
TIA
PT

Thanks. I did see suggestions that a Roku might do that but mine doesn't and it seems the network name is usually formatted DIRECT-roku-###

no, wifi analyzer just reports <Local Admin>
Strangely is also does this for my guest network. My 2.4 and 5G networks report <TP-LINK Technologies> as I might expect.
