Am I being hacked? MAC address from SONY blu-ray player appears on my network at new residence!
Ok so I just moved into a new home and setup a new account with Frontier. I had Spectrum at the old residence. At the old residence my roommate had a SONY Blu-ray player that I setup to access my Wi-Fi network. My old roommate didn't move with me to the new place but somehow the Blu-ray player's MAC address just showed up on my new Wi-Fi network! How is this possible??? I'm using a completely NEW modem/router but when I log into the router to see what devices are connected to it, the SONY device shows up as being active/online. Can anyone explain to me what's going on???

If you have logged in to your router page and you are able to see some Sony device which is not yours then Fing App is working fine in identifying devices.
I agree with @VioletChepil that you can check all your devices if there is any device which is not able to connect to the internet. If you are unable to find the device without internet access then I would suggest to change the SSID name and password on the router and connect all your devices again one by one to figure out if it is your device or not.
