Unknown MAC addresses in DHCP leases

[David Partridge]

2A:84:C16:E5:E4
10:AE:60:67:8D:3F
B6:BC4:62:B6:A9

Have all been assigned IPs by the router but I've no idea what they are! I've tried the usual MAC lookup sites and the only one I could find anything about was the second on which is "private". Can anyone id these for me.

Thanks

Maybe these are coming from an iPhone and its recent Privacy features which generates new MAC addresses for the purposes of user privacy. Other platforms may be doing likewise (e.g., Android).

Probably "private" MAC addresses that are often created by default by mobile devices.

Use private Wi-Fi addresses on Apple devices – Apple Support (UK)

To improve privacy, your device will use a different MAC address with each Wi-Fi network.

If an Apple product, try disabling Private Addresses on that client.

Thanks for the hint on Apple private MAC addresses, the

2A:84:C16:E5:E4 and
B6:BC4:62:B6:A9

Mac addresses were being used by my iPhone. Bets that the 10:AE:60:67:8D:3F is my wife's iPhone

Thanks folks - now I know what they are I am happy
