yep............which by blocking the mac or ip will mean somebody saying "why isn't this unit working"

In reply to a post by Pheasant:

It’s legit. It exists. Question is what is it / does it matter? If I knew better I’d say it was a WiFi router, but as your router and mesh is eero it’s not that. A neighbour, dunno?

Is it being dished out an IP address from your network?

Yes.

I unblocked it pinged it and got 4 responses i then blocked it and got 4 time outs, i think i am going to leaver it blocked and see if it causes any Issus all the other devices in the list in the app i recognise this is the only thing that i am not happy about.

thanks for all your help i have no doubt i will be back

I checked stats and since late Thursday it has used 6.6Gb of data.

Edit to add -
I have filled in a support form at the eero site with luck they can tell me what is going on and it'll save others going through this in future.

6.6GB in two days eh?! 😬

When was the last time you changed your WiFi password? Might want to change it. Someone’s either having a drink from your internet or you’ve a streaming device or camera etc you’ve forgotten about.

yep either do that or block it - and wait for somebody to mention it.. A cam on h.264 wouldn't do 6.6gb over a couple of days .

I had to change the password when i set the eero router up as the old password was too short so in theory the only thing that should be in the list are things i have re-set.
