Doesn't explain why it says ethernet connected though. I've wondered if maybe these are devices logging into my xfinity hotspot that I never disabled and my router is somehow logging it as a connection. My mother and aunt both live with me and we all have different devices but they don't even know what ethernet is and after speaking with them I know they never hooked anything by that method either. I also changed my wifi password just to be safe and see if that might solve the issue. I changed it again just 5 minutes ago to be sure. And yes I did change the routers password so that only I know it. I logged into myfiosgateway and went to the 'My Network' link.

I thought this would be a good time to identify every device on my network. Things like these unknown devices I seen just give myself more proof that what I'm doing is valid. (3,877 Views) I just installed a new Fios Router due to an issue with the older device. Not often but enough to not help with my paranoia. I've had my email and various accounts hacked before along with my mothers. I've always been a paranoid person so the drive is honestly just peace of mind. What is driving the need to do so?ĭoes anyone else have access to the router? Can anyone help me shed any light on this?ĭid you change the router's login name and password?įor the most part you should not need to or be logging into the router almost everyday to manage it. Hi this has been bugging me for a while, i'm not sure if this is something to do with my router or its someone stealing my wifi but theres an unknown liux device connect to my router with a different IP to the router but a very similar Mac address. Before I was using an outdated model and never seen this happen. I'm worried my data and information that I'm sending out and secuirty history I have might be comprised. When I looked up the mac addresses, 2 were Hewlett Packards and one was a Dell so it claims. I've never seen these devices connected either which might explain having no ip address maybe? Only in a offline state. I never connect through ethernet either, all wireless. All different mac addresses that I know arent mine. Unknown, simply means the device is not fully identifying itself.

These devices didn't show up all at once either. You could try changing the wifi password in the router (note is down), then you will have to change them in all of your devices which connect via wifi. Well one used to have a ipv6 adress which I traced back to comcast themselves if I did it right but now when I look it only has a mac address. Everything has been working fine for the most part but when i logged into 10.0.0.1 to manage my router which I do every day I noticed in offline devices I have 3 devices that say they were connected by ethernet and only have mac addresses. I have a technicolor cgm4140com that comcast gave me to connect to the internet.
