A MAC address is a unique number used to identify a device on a network. Some operating systems generate random MAC addresses when connecting to wireless networks to increase your privacy and protect you from malicious tracking.
Identified devices may not be recognized and may show up as new devices after reconnecting to your home network. There are also instances of incorrect brands or device models being displayed in the Home Network Security app.
Trend Micro recommends that you disable MAC randomization ONLY when connected to your network. For your security, keep random MAC addresses enabled for all networks outside of your home.
This setting may vary depending on the phone brand and model:
Turn OFF Private Address ONLY when you are connected to your own home network.
You may see a privacy warning when your device joins a network without using a private address.
