Tried that, but it still persisted.

Thanks. It seems to be gone now, I think it was due to a SoftEther server running on one of my wired devices. However, it will still show when the device was disconnected and shut off. It took a reboot of the router to stop showing the device, even a refresh of the client list wouldn't do it...

When I tried a Google search, I didn't get something meaningful. I see some posts here about virtual adapters and randomized cell phone MACs but it doesn't seem to be the case here. I did search using the whole MAC address, I didn't know if it was a good idea to post the full MAC (here are...

I am looking to upgrade my Netgear WNDR4500v1 (9 years of service; top of the line then). It turned out to be pretty decent except for firmware corruption about once a year that requires manual upload through Ethernet. EDIT: Making it simpler, looking for: Solid 2.4Ghz performance (crowded...
