Have an R7000 members here helped me get running properly. Next question. I have 50+ devices. Have the MACs for all of them. Logging in to the router though a browser, Basic>Attached devices show...

Have you done a search for the manufacturer of those devices?
MAC Address Lookup - MAC Lookup Online
On my router's web page (10.0.0.1)
That address is sometimes a sign that you have two routers in your network. By default the R7000 picks 192.168.1.1 as its address. It goes for 10.0.0.1 if it finds something already on that address.
Did you ever tell us what the modem/gateway is between the router and the Internet?
On the attached devices, have you looked here?
- Advanced
- Security
- Access Control
This can remember devices previously connected to the network.
First, since last posting, I now have 3 new unidentified devices.
second, thanks much for the link. didn't know that existed.
Put all unidentified devices in the link you provided. Out of all those, the link identified one - Silicon Laboratories. Looks like that MAC has something to do with Z-wave, but I thought my Aeotek hub would control Z-wave. Didn't know there were two different MACs.
Any ideas how to identify the remainder.
Any idea where these new devices on my network originate?
I've read I can identify device vendors by using the 1st 6 characters of a MAC? Been to 5-6 web sites that claim to be able to identify vendors. entered 5 MAC prefixes in all of them. every search returned 'can't find a vendor for that entry.' Is it actually possible to find a vendor by MAC prefix?

The site I linked you to was for finding the Mac address. That's the number as identified in the router's list of attached devices.
And I used the link, identifying just one device. Don't know why the others weren't identified.
