    A Vodafone DSL router claims there is a device connected by cable, named electrical-PC with a MAC of 00-24-2b-94-57-42 at 192.168.1.4.

    There are no ethernet cables plugged in !

    Anyone shed any light on this ?

    Its mac address doesn't really say much other than its a device with a Foxconn network port. You'd find it very hard find a pc without Foxconn parts, all pc builders use their components.

    You sure its not just registering something that was once connected, but not anymore

    Turns out it was a laptop that also connects, usually by wifi. It may have been connected by wire previously, so I could copy/paste the wifi key. The router has been turned off many times since then. Just now I connected it by wifi and refreshed the 'connected devices' page, and it showed up as a wifi device, and nothing connected by wire.

    Strane that it should remember !
