I found only this:
https://forum.glasswire.com/t/what-is-the-azurewave-technology-device-on-my-network-is-it-safe/11276 Looks like Orbi picked iRobot rather than PS4, mowing robot, Chromcast, etc.
Another technique is to go through the ist of all devices on the network. Open the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net) and bring up Attached Devices, which will show every device that is currently connected along with their IP address and MAC address.
Eliminate all of the devices that are obviously not this one. Is any device that should be connected to the network not showing up?

Sometimes the Orbi's software that looks up manufacturer codes is not correct and devices get mislabelled. Does the first part of this device MAC address match one of these: https://www.adminsub.net/mac-address-finder/irobot
If you are using the Orbi 'app', I have found that the Orbi remembers every MAC address that was ever connected. (My app said that Ihad 127 devices when there were actually fewer than 40. Used an option at the bottom of the page to delete them.

II confess to being confused. Is the problem solved or not? Has the identity of the device identified as a roomba been discovered? If it's not a roomba, what is it?
