Orbi and Roomba

[kat328]

The name Roomba shows on the list of connected devices to my Orbi WiFi 6 mesh systwm.  I don't have a Roomba!  

I blocked it, but don't know how to remove it from the system.  Keeps on showing as connected to one of the sattelites.  Please help!

Thanks for your response and help.  Looking up the MAC address, got to Azurewave technologies.  Does this mean anything to you?

I found only this:

https://forum.glasswire.com/t/what-is-the-azurewave-technology-device-on-my-network-is-it-safe/11276 Looks like Orbi picked iRobot rather than PS4, mowing robot, Chromcast, etc.

Another technique is to go through the ist of all devices on the network.  Open the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net) and bring up Attached Devices, which will show every device that is currently connected along with their IP address and MAC address.

Eliminate all of the devices that are obviously not this one.  Is any device that should be connected to the network not showing up?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.

Sometimes the Orbi's software that looks up manufacturer codes is not correct and devices get mislabelled.  Does the first part of this device MAC address match one of these: https://www.adminsub.net/mac-address-finder/irobot 

If you are using the Orbi 'app', I have found that the Orbi remembers every MAC address that was ever connected. (My app said that Ihad 127 devices when there were actually fewer than 40. Used an option at the bottom of the page to delete them.

Thanks for your response and help.  Looking up the MAC address, got to Azurewave technologies.  Does this mean anything to you?

II confess to being confused. Is the problem solved or not?  Has the identity of the device identified as a roomba been discovered?  If it's not a roomba, what is it?
