Previously identified devices keep reappearing as unknown.

I've searched around for a couple of days and can't seem to find a matching issue.  Kaspersky checks for devices on my LAN... great idea.  Unfortunately the past couple of months it keeps re-identifying the same devices as being unknown and warning me about them.  Every time this happens, I check and confirm if the device is one of mine or not.  If they are, I update Kaspersky with the device name and type, yet the same devices are identified some random time down the track.

Speaking of device types.  Kaspersky has a very limited number of device types.  It would probably be a good idea to expand that list.  Have a look at Fing application for inspiration.

Hello

Your devices in your home local network have enabled function that change MAC address everything it connect to your router.

for example.

your phone's original mac is 1.1.1.1

one time it tells your router that its mac is 1.2.3.4

another time it connect to your router it tells your router that the mac is 5.6.7.8

so your router cannot recognize that these mac are the same device.

also happen to your network manage software. it use mac to bound a certain device. and the mac is obtained from the router.
