NetGear Router - Device Manager - Un Named Device

Hello

 

I spent sometime with the Device Manager identifying known devices on the NetGear XR 1000. Subsequent to the preparation of an accurate list that reflects what devices on site, an un named device has appeared.

 

Any tips on how to identify this device & delete it?

  • do you use any apple or android devices that are using private mac/ip address? If so, they can show up unknown

  • The above is a very good point, that could be it. Otherwise if you copy the MAC address then google MAC lookup vendor you can enter the MAC address and it will tell you the manufacturer and you might be able to work it out that way.
