New device added after restart

Derekf35

When IPv6 is enabled and the network is restarted, a "new device added" notification will be shown to users.  The device list will also include a new "unnamed device" in the list.  This will occur for every restart.  The "unamed device" list will get very long. It appears this is the points connecting with a new MAC or IPv6, but it I assume it shouldn't behave like this.

Sure it's not a client device with MAC randomization enabled? Could be a Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS or iPadOS.


I don't work for Google.

Hmm, interesting.  I'll look into that.  It only occurs when IPv6 is enabled and the number of devices it adds is always the same as the number of points I have, but that could just be an odd coincidence.  I have the MAC randomization turned off on my devices for my home network, but it is possible I missed some.

I think this can be closed.  I haven't figured it out fully yet, but no more action is required
