Device Inventory and discovery - private vs corporate network

Trying to sanity‑check something in Defender, and hoping this is the right place given how many Defender products exist now.

Goal: get an accurate device inventory of everything connected to the network. I’ve gone through the configuration so it should only be showing devices on our corporate network. We’re a mixed environment with on‑prem users, remote/VPN users, and external endpoints.

What I’m unsure about: Devices showing 10.x.x.x make sense — that’s our internal corporate network. But I’m also seeing devices with 192.168.x.x addresses.

In a Defender device inventory, what would typically cause 192.168.x.x devices to appear? Are these likely remote/VPN clients, home routers, or something misconfigured?


Posting screen snip of some findings.
