Orbi Just Alerted me to "A new device Unknown Device has connected to your network"
When I click on the notification it goes to the screen where I can go to device details, when I click the button it shows loading for a while the I get a pop up that says "action unavailable. Please try again later."
Should I be alarmed? I have 140 Devices on my 960 Mesh system with 2 Sats. Most over IOT, bulbs cameras, TV's etc. Hard to track down one odd device.

If Armor is enabled on this system, my first guess is that some device was not powered up when Armor made a network scan and thus did not recorded in Armor's tables. When Armor scanned again, "Alert. Alert. New Device."
(confession: When I saw "Free Trial", my reaction was, "aha. a PAID service with an annual FEE. No Thanks." Have never enabled Armor. Not even for a trial.)
Any iphone's? their random mac/ip address feature can show as new devices
