New device vulnerability RBK753
Netgear Armor claims to have detected a vulnerability on one of my devices. See the included screen shot.
The problem is it just says "New device" and I have no way of telling which device on the network it is referring to. When I tap the device icon I briefly see a message saying "Please wait..." then it just returns back to the same screen.
This seems like it would be a great feature if it worked. How do I figure out which device this is referring to?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Armor product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Armor and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Good Luck.

My approach would be to look at the Device Manager to see if there is something with a similar description. The MAC address can be used to determine the manufacturer of the network interface on the device (usually the company that sells the product, but not always).
