Nethawk XR700 - extender not showing in network list
Hi
I recently set up this extender on my network; I have 3 security cameras connected to the extender.
I have an XR700 router, the extender appears on the network list as offline, however I can see another unnamed device online, with a very similar MAC address and has the 3 camera IP's connected and, as well as 2 others, which I am assuming is the
Extender Mac E8:44:89:5A:39:5F no IP addresses
Unnamed device EA:44:89:0A:39:5F - IP Addresses connected
192.168.1.15 ea-44-89-0a-39-5F Cam1
192.168.1.16 ea-44-89-0a-39-5F Cam2
192.168.1.17 ea-44-89-0a-39-5F Cam3
192.168.1.19 ea-44-89-0a-39-5F Unknown possibly an old connection
192.168.1.31 ea-44-89-0a-39-5F Unknown possibly an old connection
What could be the reason why the actual extender is not showing online and all connectins are being made to this unnamed device with a similar address.
Also Norton security flagged some messages yesterday that "There is an attacker on the network" with Threat name ARP Spoofing. Could this error message be generated due to multiple IP's connecting via the same MAC address?
Any help is welcomed.

What extender is this? Brand and model#
Some extenders will mask the actual MAC address of connecting devices to the extender.

Something to check with TP-Link about and see what there extender does.
Try a different extender to compare differences.
