[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1778123, member: 46727"] @Paul and Lisa: My ISP just last Tuesday installed a new Arris Router in my home. We have a FIOS high speed connection and I'm not sure if the router is the same as Paul's. It (the router) provides 4 networks: 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 2 Guest connections. It was a lot of fun getting all our devices to cooperate with the new router but finally everything is under control. My WiFi printer was especially fussy. Anyway, I checked the IP address to see if maybe the Arris was behaving the same as Paul's. My router shows only one IP address and seems to be consistant with what Lisa stated when running Netstat from Utilities. What I suggest for Paul to try if he has a spare router (I always keep a spare around) is to remove the Arris and hook up the other router temporally to see if the mystery IP address is present. I still suspect (only a guess on my part) that whoever is piggybacking on Paul's system is somehow providing a bridge across his router. Swapping routers for a test should give us an answer one way or another. [/QUOTE]
