Hi, when I log my Tegra Note 7 onto my wireless network it shows up as 2 devices, 2 IP adresses, 2 MAC adresses and 2 host names. Does anyoune know why this is? It doesn't seem to affect performance but my other Android devices don't do this.

Cheers,
Stu.

Hi

i'm not sure if you mean that the device shows up twice on the network or the network shows up twice on the device?

my Virgin router has two network id's and passwords because it has 2.4ghz and 5ghz modes. ( i set up the network id's and passwords myself). my N7 2012 only shows the 2.4ghz id but my N5 shows both and will connect to either

dual band wifi isn't supposed to be available on the Vega 7 (i had the original Vega before my 2012 N7 and am looking at buying one next time it's sub-£100 so i don't have any device to test yet) but i presume that could allow it to connect to both at the same time and give the Vega two addresses on your network?...
