Yeah it’s just the way the OUI bit of the MAC address (ostensibly the manufacturer of the network interface only) has always been since day dot. Gets even more confusing when the rest of the box is made by someone else or is white labelled. Can really leave you scratching your head.

Again thanks to all members who have helped me in this thread, its been a while since i have visited regularly i am glad the site is still here and there are still members here who know their stuff.

At least it seems more friendly here now do you remember back in the day when Dusty, Adamant etc used to post regularly it was like the wild west on a weekend back in those days.

if you can, change the name of the device in eero, so that you know what it is. My Mobos come out as a different name to what they are etc. I'm glad it was one of your devices and not the neighbours ..... And yes Dusty just brought back memories

Thanks for the suggestion i doubt after today i will ever forget what Commscope means

hahaha. That said, when you add a device into your network, check it inside the router webpage to know what its called etc. I had a router update and all the name had changed ...........It caused undue panic
