Murata device on my network
Murata Manufacturing is a large Japanese electronic components company that makes compact Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.
What Murata makes
Murata builds tiny wireless modules, often around Broadcom, Infineon or NXP chips, for makers of phones, tablets, wearables, cameras, printers and smart-home devices. Because the module is small and comes pre-certified, it is a popular choice in compact, battery-powered products.
What the device on your network probably is
Likely a phone, tablet, e-reader, printer, digital camera or a compact smart-home device. Because modern phones usually use a private random address instead, a Murata entry is more often a device that does not randomise, such as a printer or gadget.
How to work out which device it is
Check printers, tablets and gadgets for a MAC address in their network settings or companion app. Powering devices off one at a time narrows it down quickly. The hostname in the router list often includes the product or owner's name.
Should you be worried
Normally nothing to worry about: Murata built the Wi-Fi module inside one of your devices. The name tells you nothing about the product itself.
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.
