Using Netgear WiFi Analytics App, it shows R7000 and ghost "Netgear33-arlo_247000"

When I use several different phone WiFi apps to scan my network, I get the corresponding SSID (standard, guest, standard 5G, guest 5G) of my router Nighthawk R7000 with each SSID corresponding MAC address. However the apps also show a ghost SSID named "Netgear33-arlo_247000" with an MAC address that is one charactor different. Same strength, same channel as R7000, but the Vendor area is showing blank. I have no neighbors closeby. Any clues?

  • It's a Wi-Fi network to support Arlo cameras.  You can disable it by going to the Arlo tab.

      Thanks, now where is the Arlo tab on R7000. I can not find it under the Advance tab, also I do not have any of those cameras.
