st_shaw,

 

Thanks for the clarification.

 

A.)  I screwed up on the identification of the Orbi.  I was looking at the IP for the Orbi Satellite.  My Gateway is showing 10.0.0.211 for the Orbi and that matches what is showing up on the Orbi page that you referenced.  That IP doesn't show up on theOrbi "Connected Devices" page, which makes sense.

 

B.)  That leaves the 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.254 IPs that I mentioned.  Those are showing up on the "Connected Device" page for the Orbi (see attachment).  The 10.0.0.1 must be the Gateway.  Since the Orbi is, in fact, wired to the Gateway that would make sense.  The MAC shown for the 10.0.0.1 IP doesn't match, as far as I can tell, the MAC of the Gateway so that's another question.  I'll look into that later.

 

In any case, that just leaves the 10.0.0.254.  That IP is not showing up on the Gateway.  I do have a desktop PC wired to the Satellite, but I checked and it has a different IP (10.0.0.29 - not shown on the list as it was in sleep mode when I took the image).  

 

 

Based on the attachment can you think of what that IP might represent?

 

Thanks,

 

Wayne

Wayne,  The MAC address of 00:05:04:03:02:01 is almost certainly spoofed and not a real MAC.  I think you said you have Comcast.  I expect it's something to do with how Comcast setup your router, and isn't a concern. You can Google it. It's probably a fail-safe IP address hardwired into the router to allow access to the router for special purposes, troubleshooting, etc.
