XR500 unkown devices
I've been using the XR500 router for a few weeks, and have two questions. Is there any way to turn off the Dumas OS tour upon loading the web page? I have gone through to the end and clicked "Done," ...

Do you have an Access Point connected to the router? It may actually be a wireless device connected. No way to blacklist MAC address but you could block it from the device manager if you're concerned.

That worked. I had Chrome bookmarked the DumaOS Desktop after installation and it retained the tour.

No AP, just a "dumb" network switch. I found it, however. There's a DirecTV DVR, with a mini attached to it via coax. The DirecTV is a wireless connection and properly labelled, but the mini gets assigned a wired connection for some reason.
Thanks for your help.
