Ah ... thereby lies a tale! I recently added a wifi repeater ... previously I was able to label the devices in netscan using the mac addresses. With the repeater, devices using that access get the same mac address (??). With upto 15 devices, I can't recall what is what! I guess the easiest would be to give all the SBs fixed memorable ip addresses - then I'd stand a chance of knowing what is on the network and what isn't It's that simple - a memory which is rapidly becoming inaccurate.
