RAX80 SHOWING NON-EXISTENT DEVICES

On 6/24 I noticed a wired device I’m not aware of, not knowing what it is, I disconnected it in the app. Last night I noticed two more! What the heck is going on? Am I being hacked or is this new firmware buggy & downing phantom devices?

  • Sorry for the typo, at the end of my post, it’s supposed to say “... showing phantom devices.”
    Stupid “smart” phone!

        The IoT devices changing may be done by those devices themselves. Mine do same.
