I live far away on the country side and the last 2 days i see a WiFi with a hidden SSID and i can't figure out were it comes from.

I don't have any neighbor living close enough either.

Any suggestions on how to find the physical unit?

Use a wifi-enabled phone. Get an app that shows you wifi signal strength. Get a scale map of your property.

Choose some specific points of your property, maybe choose 3 equidistant points from the center (forming a triangle), and plot out the signal strength measured at each point. You can then choose three more points closer to the center that are on the same radii as the original 3 points. Take more measurements.

At this point you will probably be able to guess if the signal emitter is between your property center and the property perimeter. RF signal strength falls off with distance.
