CAX80 Mystery Wireless IP Address
Under Attached Devices I show a device using IP address 192.168.1.235. It's identified as a phone and connection type is 2.4G Wireless. I have physically identified all wired and wireless devices but can't determine what this device is.
In the Admin Logs, it logs an event every ten minutes or so. The count has been a high as 74 in one event. Any idea what this could be or how to locate it? Thanks.

Turn OFF the 2.4Ghz radio and see if it still appears on the list.
Change the PW on the 2.4Ghz radio and see if that device connects or not or someone complains.
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Cable Modem products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Cable modems and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
