What AzureWave makes

AzureWave turns other companies' wireless chips into finished modules and plug-in Wi-Fi cards. Its cards are fitted to many laptops and desktop PCs, and its modules go into smart TVs, set-top boxes, printers and IoT devices. You will rarely see the AzureWave name on the outside of anything.

What the device on your network probably is

Most likely a Windows laptop or desktop PC whose Wi-Fi card was made by AzureWave. Next most likely is a smart TV, streaming box or printer. Less often it is a smart-home device.

How to work out which device it is

On a Windows PC, run ipconfig /all and compare the Wi-Fi adapter's Physical Address with the router list; on a TV, the MAC is usually under the network or About settings. Turning devices off one at a time also works. The hostname shown in the router, such as a PC name, often settles it.

Should you be worried

Usually nothing to worry about: it is the Wi-Fi card inside one of your own computers or TVs. AzureWave only tells you who built the radio, not which product it went into.

ON YOUR PHONE · LAN SCAN

The app finds every device on the Wi-Fi you are on, at home or in a rental, and puts the vendor next to the hostname, the services it advertises and its open ports, which together usually name the product. Where it cannot tell, it says so instead of guessing. Get RECON for iPhone — one-time purchase, no account, nothing leaves the device.
