[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1778166, member: 38928"] There have been exhaustive ideas here but I agree with SlyDude. Turn off all wifi on the router then disconnect all ethernet cables apart from your laptop. If the 2nd address is still there we can discount any likelihood of an outside attacker (i.e. as it's an internal address range and your router is the DHCP server only it is issuing IP addresses. If the mystery IP is in the range is HAS to be attached to the router in some way). I suspect this is an internal function of the router. Some routers issue themselves a second IP to seperate user admin and one for ISP/engineer. However, I would have expected your ISP to know this. I'll have a futher look into the manual [/QUOTE]
