Unknown Ethernet IPhone device connected

[Dan1892]

Hello,

I have just had the hub 5 installed and added all of my devices one by one and listing all MAC addresses as they are added. All iOS and Android devices have private WiFi address switched off.

I had a Quick Look into the admin panel last night and have seen a random iPhone device has connected by Ethernet. I have done a general google search of the MAC address and it comes back as possibly randomized.

Would a randomized MAC address mess with things and confuse the system into thinking it is connected via Ethernet?. Also how can I remove this device from my network either via the admin panel or through the app?

just to add I don’t have any devices connected with Ethernet.

 

 

Thank You

I may have figured this out but too late to edit my original post.

the device was using the same IP address as a smart camera that I had added to the network.

i removed the smart camera and the unknown iPhone device disappeared from connected devices. Very Strange.

If anyone has any input on why this might be happening that would be brilliant.

Thank you

The more recent versions of Hub 5 software had lost the ability to rename devices.
May be best not to spend much time on device names.

The Ethernet display is a presentation error. 

Provided you do not Pause devices, any devices that are no longer on the network ( or re-randomizes the MAC ) will be removed when the 24 hour DHCP lease of the IP expires.
