Concerned about devices connected two my net work
I have noticed some devices that are connected to my network that I am not sure about. One in particular is called it's called OpenWrt. it is using a lot of data. I contacted my Internet company and someway I am using about 1 TB worth of Data a month. this is impossible because I am not home majority of the day. I am concerned that someone has possibly hacked into my system. It is difficult for me to figure it out because some of the Devices are also called N/A. what do I do?

Not much to go on.
What NG product are you referring too?
What devices are you connecting to the system?

Re: Concerned about devices connected two my net work
At the moment I have several devices such as fire sticks and Rokos, for echoes, a security system, my laptops, several lightbulbs, and my Amazon echoes. At the moment I cannot think of any other devices that I have hooked up. The Netgear device that I have is the Nighthawk.

Nighthawk isn't a model. Its a branding.
Streaming video can burn through a lot of data. If you've got multiple devices streaming in 4k on your network, you can easily hit 1tb a month.
So how many streaming devices do you have?
Are they 1080p or 4k?
How much do you stream?
more than 1 device at a time?
