Netgear XR500 Unnamed devices
Hi there, I'm having some trouble with my XR500. I hadn't checked in on routerlogin.net dashboard for a few months, and when I checked the Device Manager today there were a lot of 'unnamed devic...
When you checked to see if these corresponded to devices in the house did you go by name only or did you use the IP/MAC address to check?
I made a list of all the devices in the house and checked them against the devices that were showing up in the XR500 dashboard.
All of the actual physical devices in the house had names that were populated automatically from their individual device settings in the XR500 dashboard (e.g. My iphone was called MYIPHONE7)
- Were the IPs in the same subnet as your other devices? Could you provide the first half of a few of the MAC addresses so I could take a look please?
Thanks for following up, much appreciated. :)
There are currently 10 unnamed devices, of which 7 have the same first six digits in their MAC addresses.
None of the unnamed devices share the first half of a MAC address with any of the actual physcal devices that I know should be there. DMing you the numbers now.
