Netgear message and Shenzhen Bilian Electronic Home Automation

Orbi sent a message that NETGEAR Armor detected that SHENZHEN BILIAN ELECTRONIC home automation has just joined your network. We have no home automation system. What is this supposed to be?

I got a message from Netgear that said. netgear armor detected SHENZHEL BILIAAN ELECTRONIC HOME AUTOMATION has joined your network. I have no home automation systems. google scites Shenzhel Bilian as a China-based company. The ORBI app doesnt list Shenzhel Bilian as a connection. Has anyone else run into this situation?

Nobody has posted about it here in the Orbi forum. Please try the Armor forum as well.

    Yes, I received this message yesterday in the morning while I was out. It bothered me. But when I check the security it says that there were no blocked threats. Does it mean it’s OK? I don’t know.
