WPS is not enabled and I've now set wifi to WPA2 only. Set top box? Games console? Who they? No, I definitely don't have any other devices out in the wild. I'll keep an eye open for any more untoward activity. Although I suppose I could block that Mac addressOn 13/01/14 22:13, George Parker wrote:My phone always has the first 3 as 00:08:22: then random. I've had a closer look and find I've misled a bit. I have a tablet, cheapy direct from China running Android 4.1 and that returns the same MAC address every time. My phone is also a cheapy direct from China running Android 4.2 and this is giving the problem. I'll see if I can dig out the details of where I got it and email them. More worrying is an entry in my client list that gives: Client name: Unknown MAC address: F0:A2:25:A1:99:A1 IP address: 192.168.1.7 Valid time: 01:39:22 All my devices have a client name so I presume that this is an outsider hooking into my Wi-Fi. I do have it password protected on *WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.Um yeah, if you *really* don't recognise and can't account in any way for that IP address then you definitely have more serious things to worry about than randomised MAC addresses... You don't have WPS enabled on the router do you? Definitely check that, and enable strictly WPA2 only for authentication if you can, not WPA/WPA2. But surely it's just your set top box, games console or some other networked gadget you've forgotten about? Regards
