Very odd on my router status
On my connection, strangest thing is, the thing says a MacBook is connected and don't even have a MacBook. Why would a router say a MacBook is connected and uts a diff machine.

What Netgear device do you have?
Where are you looking at this connection? Mobile app? Browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
How is this device connected? Wifi? Wired?
