RoboVac Series ESP_C6700E on my network - I don't own one

Nighthawk MR60

Firmware Version V1.1.7.134_2.0.65

Windows 11

 

Should I be concerned with a RoboVac showing as connected to my network? I own no such device, so I blocked it.

    The MAC lookup didn't really give me any useful clues, but it's nice to know for future reference.

    Ultimately, I just allowed the device because I figured out that it was a smart light switch from TopGreener. It stopped responding when I disallowed it. 

    The router is a Nighthawk MR60.

    Where are you seeing this entry on the MESH network? Nighthawk app or on the MRs web page? 

    Sure that someone in the home didn't connect up something? 

    Have tracking of users who have access to the Wi-Fi network and it's credentials?

    These reports are not always reliable.

     

    Look up the Mac address for this device and see who made whatever you have connected to your network.
