Unknown vendor ImproComm on wifi

Inprocomm is the vendor of network cards, it may or may not match the device's brand name.

It is definitely not the iPhone, and probably not the Dell laptop, but you should check the rest of the devices you listed. For that, make a note of the IP addresses reported as Inprocomm and then check each of the remaining devices settings to see which one of them has that IP address.

WiFi Guard does not collect or keep lists of websites that devices visit. It is not one the Guard's functions, nor is it what it was designed for.

It is quite possible that the Inprocomm device is one of yours. As explained above, Inprocomm manufactures network cards. If a device has one of those cards, it may report its presence in the network using its network card vendor name rather than the brand name of the whole device.

There are two ways of identifying the detected unknown device:

• [Quicker, but you need to know where the network settings in each device are] Make a note of the IP address of the device that is reported as Inprocomm in WiFi Guard. After that, check network settings in each of your devices to see if one of them has that IP address.
• [Slower, but you don't need to check other devices' settings] One-by-one, switch each device off, wait for a bit, rescan the network with WiFi Guard, then switch the device back on, rescan again. This will pinpoint the device that disappears and then reappears in the scan results.

Bear in mind that these days TV sets, gaming devices, and even some robot vacuum cleaners have IP addresses and connect to the network.

Please see this page on how to keep your WiFi network secure. However, bear in mind that WiFi Guard cannot block other devices - it can only monitor your network and alert you about unrecognised devices, because it is technically impossible to block a device directly from an application. No other software similar to WiFi Guard can do it.

Thank you for sharing your discovery.

By the way, WiFi Guard can automatically approve devices with dynamic last 3 octets. All you need to do is to go to Settings - Advanced tab - Partial match field and add the unchanging first part of MAC to Automatically approve devices whose MAC address starts with:

It is probably an Android phone like the above post suggested. You may find this article about WiFi Guard useful.

As already explained above, it is hard to tell what this device might be.

The company names shown in WiFi Guard are network card manufacturers resolved from the first three octets of the MAC address. In some cases, they may match the device brand, e.g. Apple, but in other cases it may be less obvious. In particular, because Inprocomm supplies network adapters to many other companies, it is often impossible to tell what device it is exactly.

The simplest way to try to identify a "strange" device would be to turn your Internet-connected devices off and on one-by-one, rescan with WiFi Guard each time, and watch when each device disappears and re-appears in the list during this process.

If after that you still have no idea what this device is, it makes sense to change your WiFi password and strengthen its security. Obviously, you then will have to reconnect all your devices. Please see this article for details.
