Rivian on Wifi network

[Aubie559]

Does anyone know what a Rivian appears as on a home WiFi network? My Tesla appears as Tesla, but despite the fact my Rivian is connected to the network, nothing appears as "Rivian". Does it appears under a different name?

IIRC, Rivian comes up under several diferent names. On my network it's "u-blox AG"

Depends on the system you use and what year your vehicle is. On UniFi, my 2022 shows as u-blox AG.

Can it appear as Samsung-Galaxy? I have no android products in my house but my network shows Samsung-Galaxy connected.

I've not seen that, but it really depends on how your system fingerprints a device. Many simply use the MAC but, with randomized MACs, it is possible for any device to have any MAC.

My R1T Gen 1 appears as "u-blox AG", MAC address starting with 6c:1d...

My 2025 g2 shows as Murata Manufacturing

Gen 1 shows as U-box AG. They provided the Wifi and Bluetooth components to Rivian in Gen 1. Rivian changed for Gen 2 and is supplied by Murata Manufacturing which shows as the Wifi device on your network for gen 2. Depending upon your router, you may be able to change the display name on your router.

I found it via the IP address and renamed it.

I changed the name on my router to match the name I created for the vehicle. A lot of Gen 1s have a MAC address starting with 54:64:de

My 2026 R1S is showing as Samsung-Galaxy. I don't have a Murata Manufacturing on my WiFi.

your product maybe incorrectly identifying the R1.

The WIFI and Bluetooth components in gen 2 are from Murata and are the default device name that shows on a network, Rivian does not override this. However, within some routers the display name can be changed by user. More likely in your case. assuming you did not change the name, Murata is using Samsung chips to build the components, which is overriding the Murata component default name.

That's probably it. Thank you.
