New Around Here
I have a ASUS RT-AC86U with the latest firmware. (3.0.0.4.384_10007)
The coaxial cable is going into my own modem, and the modem is connected to the router with a single CAT5 cable. Nothing else is plugged into the router. All connections are wireless.
I have a guest wifi network that my neighbor uses.
When I look at connected clients it shows a "Wired" connection. The device shows as a Mac named "Tommys-Mac-Pro". I have no idea where it's getting this connection from. I have two Macs and both are connected wirelessly.
Any ideas? I'm tempted to block it to see what happens but thought I'd check here first.
Many Thanks!
Edit:
I see that they released a new firmware and installed that. (3.0.0.4.384_20308)
Currently, the device in question is not showing up but I don't know if it's due to the firmware or if it's just offline. I just figured out that if I connect my iPhone to the guest network that I have setup that it shows as a "Wired" connection but if I connect to my own network, on the same router, that it shows as "Wireless". That seems odd. Maybe the Tommys-Mac-Pro connection is my neighbor using the guest network. Seems like a router bug.
