Proware Technologies - RAX50

I was checking what all was connected to my RAX50 and saw this as being connected:

Proware Technologies Entertainment- Anyone have any idea what this could be?

I denied internet access once I saw it.

    Its a challenge as it bases it off the mac address. 

    What mac address was it? 

    when you blocked it, did any device have issues?
    Also, do you have mac or ios devices on your network? they've been using random mac/ip addresses that'll give you random devices or unknown devices on your network if private mac/ip address is enabled.

      MAC: 6C:FD:B9:6C:0D:8A

      Haven't noticed any problems since I blocked it and it hasn't showed up since I blocked it.

      I have Apple TV 4k could it be from that?

        Tough to know what it was from. It does list the Proware under that mac but they make quite a few different products. 

        If it didn't impact anything, I'd be suspecting a device using a random mac. Not sure if apple tv does the same but I know iphone's and some mac's do.
