Orbi 'ghost' devices

I have a main Orbi router and 1 satellite and it's been going well so far. Today I noticed a lot of weird devices all titled Cisco02106 or Unknown. Does anyone know what this could be?

Hello PvBTC

 

How may devices should be connected to your unit? Have you tried to reset the unit and check again if they are showing up?

Re: Orbi 'ghost' devices

I have approximately 2 iPhones, 4 iPads and 2 laptops connected. The devices in question are either Unknown or Cisco02106. I am almost certain, from working on this, that they are related to DirecTV. What is weird is I only have 1 wireless DTV box and 4 total. Why would it issue so many 'devices'? Thank you for your help.

Hello PVBTC

 

Maybe the one Direct Tv box acts like a switch to all the others so they all would be getting Ip address from the one box so they would show up in the attached devices.
