Mystery IP Address in device map
Recently added an ex8000 to my existing network router (c7800) to extend wifi coverage. Everything appears to be working fine, but when I access the device map using netgenie, I am now seeing and unknown device with an IP of 192.168.0.100. This is well outside of any devices that are normally connected. My home net is about 30 devices and the previous highest IP was 192.168.0.30. If I turn off the extender, the mystery device disappears. Any idea what this is? I am not seeing any signs of intrusion or unauthorized use of my network. Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.
On the Extender, under Connected Devices on would assume to see all WiFi or wired clients connected to the WiFi Extender, including the real MAC address, the virtual MAC address, the IP address.
identifying the device is done best based on the real MAC address.
Names are not always meaningful, device typie identification is not that reliable.

When you browse to http://192.168.0.100 do you see the extender login page?
No I do not see the extender login page. The attempt just times out and returns nothing. I should have mentioned, that I can see the extender on the network map at 192.68.0.29. I can tell you that when I use routerlogin.net I do not see the mystery device, only in netgenie.
The router's web ui doesn't show it in attached devices?
How about the extender's list (at http://192.68.0.29).
