DEV-xx:xx:xx entries
An old issue I’ve seen posted about that is manifesting itself on my new 860 mesh setup that I wondered if anyone has any proven solution for. I didn’t get this on my 850. Random DEV entries showing i...
No Androids on network.
Google search says they are LAA self-assigned Macs starting 02.
I had a play with powering off iOS to see if they were from those devices, also turned off private addressing - they seem to be part of the issue as one entry was my Apple Watch that popped up, but other unknown devices pop up with DEV entries that I cannot identify.
7.2.6.31 running on the 860 mesh nodes.
I have powered off the extender and rebooted the router and so far no DEV entries are appearing. So I'm now wondering if it's caused by unanswered device DHCP requests via the extender leaving cached entries in the ARP table. The extender is an older RBS50Y reset into extender mode not Orbi mode - seems to work well apart from being the potential cause of rogue device entries.
I'll leave it off for a few days then power it back on and see if the rogues come back.
What mode is the RBS50Y working in? I presume extender mode?
Possible could have been some odd behavior there. Sounds like you narrowed it down.
Let us know after a few days if something appears.
- Yes the RBS50Y was setup in extender mode.
I have had no recurrence of the DEV entries since it’s been powered down for 4 days now. The DEV entries were appearing multiple times per day.
So I’ll leave the extender off for now.Might try the RBSY again to see if the DEV devices appear. If so, then you'll know.
