9CA525A07A23-mysimplelink
9CA525A07A23-mysimplelink is showing up on my wired connections to the router on Port 05. I tried blocking it but I lost internet connectivity. Looks like its something to do with the Netgear rou...
All I meant by Port 05, was it is IP address 192.168.0.5
The router itself is 192.168.0.1
and I did Google mysimplelink, but nothing helpful was found, hence ending up here.
I did discover that the device uses a USR-C332 which apparently is a wifi modem chip.
Just thought someone might have known instantly what this was and I could have put my mind at rest on the matter.

"Port" has a well-accepted meaning, different from "part of an IP
address". General advice: If you mean "192.168.0.5", then _write_
"192.168.0.5". It's not complicated.

With my weak psychic powers, I can't see what you found, or guess why
you thought it was unhelpful.

How, exactly?

"the device"? Or is that your question?
If it's a gizmo which is sold to many device makers, then it might be
unrealistic to expect anyone here to identify it based on (what looks
like) a MAC address and "mysimplelink".

If I were trying to identify some mysterious device which appears in
an Attached Devices report -- And I'm only guessing that that's what
you're trying to do -- then I might try some basic detective work, like,
say, powering on/off every "smart" Internet-of-Junk device which I could
find, and see what comes and goes.
I have no better idea which devices you own than I have which
router you're using.
It's okay, forget it, I have solved the problem by elimination.
It was my EV charger.
