Unknown Netgear IP address on network (CG3000V2)
Recently got a new cable modem from Optus (CG3000V2) and enjoy using Netgear Geni, but confused by an unknown device that keeps appearing at the same IP address (192.168.0.5). Recently checked Norton...
Fordem,
Thanks for your quick reply
Sorry, was NOT suggesting the IP address indicated a Netgear device.
WAS suggesting the 1st 6 characters were the OUI and that they indicated it was Netgear device. Thanks for letting me know that this is not definitive.
However the MAC address is VERY close to that of the 2 on the CG3000V2 itself. And funnily enough the MAC address that appears on 192.168.0.1 Gateway IP address is NOT one of the two on the device label. But it IS as I said close to the unidentified device. (hence my providing the 4 albeit partially masked MAC addresses.)
That said, what CAN I do to simply determine what the device IS. Does the CG3000V2 use another IP address in any way?
One simple things didn't work to find out what the device is. Putting the IP address in a browser just came up as not available.
So do you have any simple techniques that could help me identify the device?
Thanks,
Larry
