Too Many Unnamed devices on my XR500

Good Day Netgear Community,

 

I purchased a Netgear XR500 about 2 years ago.  Absolutely love the hardware but, I have a big issue with all the unknown devices that continually show under the Device Manager.  Anyone have a resolution for this nagging issue?

    Do you use apple products?
    Their private mac/ip address feature can do that. 

  • Good advice above, also if you give static/reserved IPs to devices that should reduce it as well.
