Grumpy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Noticed today that I have this new ip address showing up when I scanned my wifi Anyone else heard of or have this Wistron neweb corporation on their computers? A Google search tells me I'm not alone and this mob is Thailand based How do I get rid of a ip address if I need to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aasza Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Wistron Neweb make WiFi chipsets which are found inside computers/tv set top boxes/media streamers/blue ray players, even some phones etc.... So if you haven't connected any new devices to your network recently then it is possible a someone in the area is using your modem/router for internet access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aasza Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The only way to know what it is would be to disconnect all your wifi devices from the router, then reconnect one at a time until it shows up again on the connected devices list in the modem management GUI....
