Netgear Genie - Network Map showing strange connections
Looking at the Network Map, I see way too many connections. One from Japan, several from ARRIS (?), and one from IR(?). I have tried to research these internaly but can't find them. I can account for...
Doing that now. I've discovered the HON HAI connection actually my HP Printer?!?!?! Go figure. I'll keep investigating but it is beginning to look like all is OK! Guess I cried "WOLF" a little too soon. Sorry guys! I'm not very tech savy . . .as if you couldn't tell.
Thanks for the help here!

You're Welcome,
It's scary, no doubt when that stuff shows up. Keep in mine the intruder or hack would have to be in your home or wifi range. The real concern is the ones you never see on a network map.
You might look at the router attached device list and compare them.

Does the attached device list match genie network map?
They seem to. I'm doing a side by side comparrison now. The names don't match so having to check the MAC addresses.
I figured as much.
Thanks again,
I have a Brother printer. Wireless radio shows up as HON HAY. Have a read: http://blog.erratasec.com/2009/10/hon-hai-foxconn.html
