MAC address question

Question

A MAC address is appearing in the devices connected to my Nighthawk. The address is 08:36:C9:9E:35:B3. It is a Netgear item.

I cannot locate any physical device in my home withthat address. My system is running security, with a very strong password and we are physically so far from nearest neighbors that someone else jumping on is unlikely.

How can I find out what this item is?

Is there some tool I can use to hunt for it?

Thank you in advance.
