Model: Deco P7  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.9 build 20200918 rel 74680

Every day i get a notification about an unknown device got connected to / disconnected from the router.

When i look at the device list I don't see that device.

I named every device on my device list and stil this "unknown device" does not appear.

 

What is this device?

Why does that happen?

@Juve I have the same problem, constant notification of a device disconnected from my Wi-Fi network "Unknown" that does not appear in the list or connection history  frown

I sent the support an email about that and other things (firewall, connecting to the deco locally through the app when there's no internet and a few suggestions). I hope to get a response back soon and I'll update the relevant answer.

 

I couldn't find much info about that on the web...

@Juve  This is the response sent by support to the unknown device query

Dear customer

 

This is a senior engineer from TP-Link here.

UNKNOWN means that the Deco doesn’t know the device’s host name or IP address, only knowing it has been sending packets to Deco units.

So this device is recorded by the Deco, without any further information.

We can identify its identity through the Mac address.

 

Thanks.

@Juve The worst device i have tp-link i have no idea why even they made it? now these devices are showing in my router as unknown. and when i am trying to add them into blacklist its saying unknown is already exist , well it will be because i have blocked one unknown device . when i am trying to add other one its saying i can't. and there is no way i can assign a name to device , what a point to have i.p address and mac address when you guys cannot use it,

 

here is my other problem and their I.T team can not help.

 

.1 if i have parents rule, and i put device in blacklist they still can access internet. i have to turn off parents rule for that device then blacklist work .. 

 

i wanted to throw that bad device ...
