MAC Address

Assillon — Tue, 12 Jul 2022 00:08:40 GMT

I'm trying to decipher what is showing on my network. We have BT broadband.

I only have 5 unknown devices left on the network, and I have 1 smart meter, 2 Sky Q mini boxes and 2 DV handsets to allocate to the aforementioned unknown devices.

Can anyone help with the issue of MAC addresses for these?

Any help greatly received. Thanks

A smart meter would not normally use your home network. Also a DV phone is Dect so once again would not show on the network.

Do you have any power line adaptors or WiFi extenders?

Hi and thanks for response. I really am IT illiterate.
I’ve checked the 5 Mac addresses that are left on the network, and results are same for all of them, true MAC address, no virtual machine, LAA (whatever that means).
I suspect that at least 3 of the Mac addresses refer to old i phones, would that be possible? They are all off line and no date or time when last on line.
I really appreciate you taking the time to reply

Just factory reset your hub and see if they reappear.
