• Wrt1900acs nine installed today - peripheral unknown offline appearing in the network map

  Installed my new wrt1900acs today, began to connect devices, signed for the Smart Wifi Linksys. The network card correctly displays all connected devices, but there is a mystery device appear offline. I have used Parental controls to block access to this device until I can find more.

  How would a device appear? It should be linked at some point?  The new router has only been for 3-4 hours.  I connected only 2 laptops, a desk and a phone to iOS. Have not connected my non - iOS wifes phone still.  There are also 2 other routers and networks connected to the same Comcast modem.

  The mystery device is presented as "generic device" with only a name and a MAC address.  I was able to remove, but did not know if there was a simple explanation for it.

  Yes it should have been connected or on the network at any given time.

  Use the clear network adapter icon in the top-right corner of the user interface to allow the map to regenerate. I could take a few minutes.

• Unknown to router in the Network Infrastructure

  Hello

  There is a unknown router which is not mine not appearing in the Network Infrastructure.

  I understand why it show up under available wireless networks. But not the network infrastructure.

  I have not connected to it, is not my router, and it is not there. It is a little disconcerting, to say the least.

  Here is a screenshot:

  Is this a security risk? Why is this, and how do I get rid of him?

  Thank you.

  OK so I would like to know what criteria determines why a router is listed in the network infrastructure... and how to get rid of him?

  Why is windows 7 this? It makes no sense at all...

  Can't really answer. I can only say that turning on the Details view for the page shows that the alien router isn't listed in my network location. A network infrastructure device is that in theory I 'could' connect to research a little further into the router configs (properties because it gives model, series No, MAC address and unique identifier #) indicates that the owner has set up to use WiFi Protected Setup to allow wireless devices to connect (requiring a fixed number of pine).  So, if I had the PIN to the router, I was able to connect to its network. Maybe that's why it appears. If your mystery router is configured in the same way, this could be a further indication as to why these routers being listed in the title of the Network Infrastructure while all other neighboring routers are not.

• WRT1900AC - devices shown on the network map is not all visible in Windows 7 Explorer

  I just bought the router 1900AC as substitute of plugin for my previous WRT54GL router using DD - WRT.

  Each of the Linksys routers is configured for an IP 192.168.2.1 and each is configured to assign the device of intellectual property within this subnet.

  Each router works (not at the same time of course) when it is attached as a secondary router behind my Telus ActionTec V1000H DSL Modem/Router.  All my LAN devices with Gb ports are now much faster.  Internet speeds are tremendous.

  However, with the new 1900AC, my PC under Windows 7 router only see each other in the network of Windows Explorer pane.  In the content pane, I see my two Western Digital MyBookLive and my printer HP Laserjet devices, as well as media devices on my network.  But if I try to access a file (such as Notepad) and I select the network node, only the other PC appears in the list.

  The network of the 1900AC map shows all devices without any problem.

  The old WRT54GL router has also had no problem display all network devices.

  Can anyone suggest how I can do all the devices visible to my Windows 7 Explorer?

  WD (MyBookLive and MyBookLiveDuo) devices are connected to the ethernet ports.  Tablets connected via radio (a 2.4 Mhz and the other double 2.4 / 5.0 Mhz).

  After rally for second level support technology of LinkSys and waiting for their call, I saw what I knew, and since all devices appeared in the plan of network from the router, but not in Windows 7 is the router, or my windows firewall should block devices.

  My McAfee control center using I dropped the firewall and refreshed the Win7 network view - and all of a sudden all of the appliances were visible.  Problem solved.

  Then, I entered a new rule of connectivity that disable the firewall for all devices in the range * 198.162.2, introduced the firewall to the top and then restarted my PC.  All devices have remained visible after restart.

  Since each Windows PC has its own firewall, I repeated the process for my second PC.

  I have concluded that when Windows 7 sees a new router assigns a new network name and the network name does NOT inherit from the previous router settings - even if the routers have identical IP addresses and assign IPs client on the same subnet.

  For the benefit of third parties, if the router sees your devices but your windows PC does not work, drop your firewall and refresh your network view.  If the devices will be displayed, you must configure your firewall to let all devices in your same subnet.  This should apply to any firewall on any version of windows, I suspect.

• Mystery phone appearing in the network

  

  For some time, I had this mystery phone appears on the network. The appliance changes almost every time that I look at. It can be any phone and any name. I don't have a smart phone, nor anyone who connects to this network. I'm quite positive that sees no other computer this device. It does not appear in newspapers DHCP on the router. I tried to change the workgroup names. I turned off absolutely all devices on my network, including my PC for a few minutes and then restarted. I have scanned for viruses. What's left to do?

  Phones can not actually be connected to your network. I recently saw the same thing on my control panel network and thought that someone was using my internet. However, it turns out that, by default, windows shows you all the devices nearby, regardless of the question of whether or not they are connected to your network.

  You can disable it by going to control panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> advanced sharing settings, and by activating the option that says "disable discovery of the network.

• Unknown devices shared on the side bar of the Finder

  Quick overview of my MacBook:

  MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015)

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Version

  So I just moved into my place of residence of the school, we are provided access to the Wi - Fi connection for students. When I connected to the WiFi, peripheral unknown begin to appear on the "Shared" tab after a few minutes (which could be peripheral other students also connected to the Wi - Fi connection)

  Should I worry, as if they can see my browsing history? Or they can browse my device?

  Is there a solution to the 'non-shared' to all of these devices? (The context menu does not show that delete all option device or something similar)

  Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad English.

  They can not see anything on your Mac and may not even be aware that your Mac is there with them.

  These computers only send messages on the network to show you that they are there and you can try to communicate with them.

  You have sharing services turned on in sharing the System Prefs? If this is not the case, they don't see you.

  You can remove most of them by turning off computers Hello in the sidebar of Finder preferences.

• Windows 7 computer to connect to Airport Extreme with an external USB drive attached. Flash drive appears for the network map but not the hard drive.

  original title: drive hard extreme airport

  Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

  Hello

  Check updates firmware for the Airport Extreme.

  Airport Extreme
  http://www.Apple.com/WiFi/

  Airport - Support
  http://www.Apple.com/support/airport/

  ---------------------

  Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
  Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
  (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
  7 love the updated drivers.

  I hope this helps.

• Unknown device on a home network

  I have a Cisco modem and connect my laptop on the same wireless network, which is a connection, but I have a? on my network and its an unknown device... what or who is this?

  Log into the router and try and find a page that lists the connected devices. Remove devices you can work on what they are, then look at the unknown items. With most routers it will list the MAC address of each unit so note 3 1 number for any unidentified two characters. Go to this site http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/ and enter the recorded values and say which manufacturer the MAC address has been assigned to.

  Typical findings include mobile phones, tablets, games consoles and satellite receivers. These frequently do not correctly identify.

  the discussion is about this device. I guess this could really be something like the HARD drive acceleration sensor (the sensor that parks the disk heads HARD when the machine is moved faster then usual).

  Maybe then it's a device that can be left since you won´t get the drivers for it. Another good option would be to google for this error...

• Tecra A7: Two unknown devices after installing the OS Win

  Hi all
  Recently bought an A7 and was convinced all the preinstalled software Toshiba slowed things. Managed to fresh install windows, then use Toshiba Apps Installer to restore items that I really wanted to. Everything went well and the computer is about two times faster now. However, I have two following unknown devices:

  (1) device type: other devices
  Location: on Intel(r) 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27 b 9
  Hardware ID: ACPI\IFX0102

  (2) device type: other devices
  Places: On system compatible ACPI Microsoft
  Hardware ID: ACPI\TOS620A

  I installed the latest Intel Chipset drivers and no luck. Perhaps one of them is the sound card (although I have installed the drivers as well) and one of them HARD drive Protection (that I have no intention of installing anyway).

  If someone can confirm what they are it would be much appreciated.

  Kind regards
  Christin

  Hello

  Installing drivers and utilities Toshiba should be made in the right order.
  The chipset utility must be installed at the beginning and then the common modules.
  You must use the form chipset the Toshiba site.

  The Tecra M7 also supports the protection of the HARD drive. Normally you will find it at the last position under "Audio, video and game controllers" in Device Manager.

  I found this document Toshiba how to identify an unknown device:
