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?
This looks like a perfect question to post in the community forum for Armor:

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).
