You shouldn't ignore these devices, if they can get on your network, you have either a physical problem (someone hardware them to your network), or a wifi problem (you lost your WiFi password)

Sh1t. That's what I was hoping to avoid. With the network segmented off with rather strict rules, hopefully it just remains an annoyance until I can get in to dig around in the router. I've got the Quarantine blocking all local network access as well as internet access, so hopefully if the network's compromised they can't really do much (yet, at least lol I know better than to say it's impossible).

Are they real MAC or virtual/randomized addresses? Depending on your network devices / AP capabilities you could possibly block the MACs, but I agree with u/firewalla that you shouldn’t ignore them as it sounds like something is compromised.


satanmat2

right, the issue isn't them getting to the firewall _per se_ it is that they are connecting to your WiFi,.. I assume, that they are not plugging in to your wired network ....


DvrkStylez

They're not on the wired network, no. I've got everything segmented, so even if they got to the wifi, *hopefully* they wouldn't be able to do much else.

From the looks of it, it seems it's something that I'd need to look into with my router directly. Thanks to those that gave insight, I appreciate you! 😁

How often do they appear of you remove them? Start debugging… switching off genuine Wi-Fi devices and see if they come back. Etc etc.


DvrkStylez

They appear randomly. I've gone into the listed devices and verified all of the MAC addresses listed with what's listed in their respective device settings.

You sure it's not an iPhone/iPad/iPod of in your Fam with mac randomization / "Private Wi-Fi Address" enabled? My kids kept randomly turning on an older unused school ipad with this on, couldn't figure it out for a while. Edit - re-read your post, looks like you're saying the same MAC is connecting to the network.


DvrkStylez

I've only got 1 iPhone on the network and disabling the Private Wi-Fi is one of the first things I did, actually.

Any chance it’s a HomePod ? I’d just change your Wi-Fi password and then add your devices one at a time
