Generic Home Monitoring?

I have a R6700 Nightgear router and I had a connection that I could see from the mobile app called Generic Home Monitoring and when I search it up it’s some sort of security camera company which I do not have. I tried to turn it off and went onto my pc and I found out for some reason my IPhone was labeled as that when it wasn’t before does anyone know if this is normal?

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Hey! Sorry for the very late response. We were tied up in backtracking cases to make sure nothing is amiss. Do you still require assistance with this query?

     

    We do not have any information regarding this. Does it affect your network? Possibly it would be a display name issue.

         Probably not an appropriate response to a scam-link post.

       

         A Web search for, say:
            "I have a R6700 Nightgear router and I had a connection"
      should find the (Reddit) source of the plausible text used to camouflage
      the scam links.

         Seems unlikely to me, given that no assistance was ever desired.
