Unknown Device Texas Instruments Camera
I have a new RAX43 router, and I'm new to the Nighthawk App on my iPhone. That app is showing a "Texas Instruments Camera" in my devices. I don't know what this camera is. I've "paused" that device, but 1) is there anything I can do to remove it completely from the system? And 2) is there any way to identify it? Thanks for any help.

Re: Unknown Device Texas Instruments Camera
This would be something to post about over in in the RAX router forum:
or in the NH app forum: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-App/bd-p/en-home-networking-apps
Good Luck.

Devices do not just "appear". They have to be connected with ethernet or WiFi (the "app" should identify how this device is connected).
Network management programs use a table to match the device MAC address to a manufacturer. There are plenty of web resources that can be used to do this: https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html is one. It is a bit awkward because although Texas Instruments may be registered as owning this block of MAC addresses, the device that contains this WiFi chip may be from some company that bought a T.I. WiFi chip to include in their product. If the device is connected with WiFi, then someone used the WiFi SSID and password to get it connected. If it wasn't you, who was it? (Is there a teenager in the house?)
One tedious procedure is to go around and power off one device at a time until this entry disappears. Since router tables take up to five minutes to update, this can go on for some time.
