Redpine Signals device on my network
Redpine Signals was a wireless chip company, with engineering in Hyderabad, India, whose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth business was bought by Silicon Labs in 2020.
What Redpine Signals makes
Redpine designed low-power Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips and modules for battery-powered connected devices. They were used mainly in industrial, medical and IoT equipment rather than in phones or laptops, and the technology continues in Silicon Labs' Wi-Fi products.
What the device on your network probably is
Most likely a battery-powered or low-power connected gadget such as a sensor, smart-home device or a piece of specialist equipment. It is unlikely to be a phone, computer or TV.
How to work out which device it is
Unplug or power off low-power gadgets one at a time and watch for the entry to disappear. Check the companion app of any sensor, smart lock or hub for a MAC address in its device details. Consider whether it appeared around when a new device was set up.
Should you be worried
Nothing suggests a problem on its own; Redpine is simply the radio maker. The name is rare on home networks, so if nothing you own matches, keep narrowing down by unplugging devices before assuming anything.
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.
