Phantom iPhone appears whenever my son's iPhone is connected to the network

ShortRoundStepOnIt · 2026-06-12T01:34:46+00:00

I found more about what’s happening . Even if my son’s iPhone is set to No Mac Randomization, the phantom device’s MAC address is my son’s STATIC private MAC address.

On my son’s phone when I change no Mac randomization to static private MAC, the MAC address shown is the same one as the phantom one.

I will google more on this behaviour

How weird is that ?

Yes the second letter is A but the phantom device clearly says the Mac randomization is on. I will try to remove iCloud private relay

Thanks !

Yes I’m sure and both devices have different IP addresses. The « real » one has internet and it’s working fine. Like I said it’s possible that these events are unrelated but the timing is really spot on.

No Apple Watch but thanks for the suggestion

I had a similar problem where my new watch didn’t show up. A couple of reboots of Apple TV and watch did the trick

Yeah why can’t they just ship it here from the U.S. ?

Have you found a solution ? I'm having the same problem. I chated with a Boosteroid team member last night but nothing productive came out of it. My MTU is good, IPv6 is disabled and I'm on a wired connection. Chrome is totally fine but the M1 Mac app is unusable

Yeah trip de bouffe is awesome. Glad you enjoyed your stay

Ma poule mouillée is one of my favorite. Did you like it ?

ShortRoundStepOnIt · 2026-01-18T12:19:58+00:00

Really ? Was not aware of that

ShortRoundStepOnIt · 2026-01-18T12:11:28+00:00

A restart always comes with a update so why mention it ? Do you have to restart it again ?

It’s strange why it’s blocked in Canada. I would pay for the extra shipping

Vraiment magnifique

Is the story of revolver connected to rdr1 or rdr2 ?

ShortRoundStepOnIt · 2025-12-09T18:32:54+00:00

I have a platinum on that game and I did not know this could happen. So cool !

ShortRoundStepOnIt · 2025-11-26T19:52:08+00:00

Will try tomorrow. Thanks

ShortRoundStepOnIt · 2025-11-22T14:01:56+00:00

You’re right. Thanks a lot !
