Wierd device names and mac addresses in Wired Devices

  • Hardware Version: EX6200v2
  • Firmware Version: V1.0.1.72

This showed up in my wired devices recently. Anyone know why? I did a reset and they didn't go away.

(I removed my other devices from the chart below.)

Stephen,

I reset it to factory defaults a second time and this time the wierd entries went away.

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any wired devices connected to the extender?

Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.

Nope. Nothing connected to it except the ethernet cable back to the router (using Range Extender in AP mode).

Thanks,

Dave
