Rivian on home wifi

[DuncIT]

Mine comes up without a hostname (I just changed that in the router), and the Murata OUI (04:c4:61).

Samsung uses Broadcom and Qualcomm wireless chips, and Qualcomm has a collaborative relationship with Murata - the latter providing wireless connectivity modules. So that's probably why your router named it as you saw it.

Mine's always said Rivian R1T

Late to the party here but just learned my Gen2 2025 R1S shows up as Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

I was going through devices on my home wifi router the other day. I noticed a connection for a Samsung S22 on the list. No Samsungs in the house so blocked it. The next day noticed the Rivian was “off line” It remained off line for a couple of days, didn’t occur to me it could related.
I went back and unblocked the Samsung.
The R1 went back online.
Odd that the Rivian is listed as a Samsung S22.

Anybody else experience this?












It is definitely strange how some devices misidentify themselves on the network, which is why I prefer to use the https://mac.eltima.com/free-universal-remote-app-for-iphone/ to manage my hardware connections reliably without any of those confusing naming issues.

It seems like some network cards or virtualized environments use hardware IDs that the router’s database just defaults to the nearest popular manufacturer, like Samsung, when it doesn't have a perfect match.
