Commscope

My FTTP was installed today and its working fine, when I checked the eero app i saw 4 connected devices three i recognised and one called Commscope which i didn't does anyone here know what it is?

Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest a Google of Commscope and see what they do, one thing is DOCSIS and WiFi devices, but I don't know why an Eero device should see one unless you have a device with a Commscope chip in it.

I have searched but am no wiser -

Who is your provider? Did the engineer do a speed test after installing?

Do you have an ONT on the wall with the eero router plugged into it? Commscope is a massive company that makes a lot of electronics. It could easily be that. They also make a lot of the antenna panels you see on mobile phone masts.

Is it Openreach or an AltNet network? Thought it was TalkTalk….dunno.

If Openreach FTTP these days it will be either of Nokia (Alacatel) or Adtran box, nothing from CommScope/Arris that I’m aware of.

Think it’s only Netomnia/YouFibre that dish those Arris ONT-routers out on their network to some folks.

would it(the eero) even see it given that would be after the ont/ont router. ?

Think they’re all loved up with Qualcomm doing the heavy lifting in those things.

Edit: Sorry misread your post. Yep ONT is invisible.

MAC address of ONT should be visible to router though. Whom owns the OUI ??

TalkTalk

No he didn't do a speed test as far as i know, the engineer left before the ONT light turned green he said he would ring me in roughly 30 minutes and it would work which it did, i was a little confused as several videos i had watched said they would test it before leaving.
