Too Many Unnamed devices on my XR500

[Rdanderson7]

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.

Do you do that in Settings > Setup > LAN Setup > Address Reservation > Add?

[Netduma-Liam]

That's correct, yes.

Thanks for the advice.  I will setup the reservations on my device this weekend.

For any Apple and some Android devices, be sure to disable the MAC randomizer on these device as these can show unknown or "dev" host names.
