Unknown devices on my Nighthawk Mesh router MR80
I am seeing over a dozen devices listed that are completely unknown to me. I have the most current firmware from Netgear. Any idea what these are or how they got into my system. If I simply delete them, they come back after a short time.
HELP! Thanks in advance

If you log in through the browser, does it show any more details about them?
I've found the browsers based attached device list to be more accurate.

Unfortunately no, it does not help. For these devices the information is the same in both places.

You can look them up based on their mac address (the full address) to give you a base idea of what they are.

Any of these apple devices? if so, disble the Privacy Mac address feature on these devices. Apple has deployed a randome Mac generator for apple devcies which causes the MAC address to change and gives off this DEV device name seen.
