Fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 shows Windows Network

I am wondering why underneath other locations, I can see a Windows Network folder, inside which is my wireless router/model. Does this mean I am on a Windows Network?
By the way this machine and my android phone are the only devices connected to my wireless router. However, there is another wireless router in the building. I am using a splitter to connect both routers at the same endpoint.

I think this is a shared directory and it is shared on the network, which you are using.

Yes, but my computer and phone are the only devices connected to my wireless router. The other Windows machines in the building are connected to a different wireless device. The only thing is that both wireless routers are connected to the same Coax outlet via a splitter.
