RBR50v2 router showing device named ALLOW for a few seconds.

I have a RBR50v2 router and I was looking at the device list and a device named ALLOW showed up for a few seconds and then dissapear. Has anyone else seen this happen on their router?

    Is this on the Orbi web interface (Attached Devices) or on the Orbi 'app' Device Manager?

      I have had an Orbi RBR50 for nearly eight years and have never seen anything like this.  Most unusual.

       

      How frequently does this happen?

      It would be fantastic to have a screen shot of this, but things that appear for only a few seconds are nearly impossible to capture. (sigh)

        I have only seen it happen once and that was because I was in the device menu at the time. What's even stranger is this device does not appear in the Orbi app either. No trace of it.
