New device message

Received a message this morning about a new ArrisGro device connected to network. It has a different MAC address than my router and cable boxes. I couldn’t figure out how to disconnect it so I paused it and changed my password. Any ideas? Am I just being paranoid? Thanks in advance!!

It's yours. Their Advanced Security feature has recently been pushed to their gateway devices via a firmware update whether you want it or not, hence the hypochondriac notices. It's buggy.

We've seen many many posts about this here lately ! The work-around is to disable the Advanced Security and not use it for now.;
