Sky Q installed yesterday. Now strange device shown on network (ip 0.0.0.0)

I had my Sky upgraded to Sky Q yesterday and it is working very well.

However I decided to check on my WiFi network to see how things were working and the MyBT app on my phone showed the Sky Q box as expected and another device with ip 0.0.0.0 which had no name.

Strangely enough my BT Smart Hub showed no sign of this device, as noted above. it only showed up in the MyBT app.

I know thi is a Sky forum, but this only showed up with the change from Sky HD+ to Sky Q. Powering the Sky Q off removes both the Sky Q entry and the nul ip device.

Sky Q box is a 1TB and I do not have any mini boxes.

I'm guessing that the nul ip address is the Sky Q attempting to contact any associated equipment that I don't have.

I'm just curious about what is happening.

Sky Q boxes generate their own WiFi mesh for Sky Q miniboxes to connect to. It's probably this that's showing up. Nothing to worry about.

That;s what I thought. The powering on/off proved to me it was the Q box. It's just part of learning what has changed sincethe upgrade from Sky+ D.

Thanks
