Circle for Netgear device does not match Orbi

I have 14 devices, all 14 are displayed in my Orbi and in my Circle for Netgear. However, there is an extra Apple device in my Circle for Netgear that comes right back when I remove it.

If the device is not connected to my Orbi how could it be in my Circle for Netgear?

Can I block MAC addresses via Circle for Netgear?

  • Ios devices have a random mac/ip address feature. It could be that causing issues between the app/circle
