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,
Ok using fing i got a response from telnet (port 23).
I used a telnet client on 192.168.0.5 port 23 and got a login prompt. Since I don't know the device I did a guest guest and admin no password and it failed. Since I am WAY out of my depth here I have no idea how to proceed. The telnet sw (vSSH Lite for the Mac) only gave me this display briefly but include it to see if it helps you decipher what the device is.
Here is a link to the screenshot - https://www.dropbox.com/s/zx11m7r6i97yfvc/Screenshot%202015-05-19%2010.26.43.png?dl=0
does that tell you anything about the device or does it only set up display parameters?
Thanks,
