Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: latest (downloaded 2023-01-22)

My mesh includes three (3) older M5s. and one new, just purchased from Amazon.

Checking my network with Network Signal Info Pro app, the older M5's show the manufacturer as "TP-Link Tech Co, Ltd", while the newer M5 is simply "Unknown".  Not that it really matters, but why ?

It is possible TP-Link started to use new MAC address prefix, and it is unknown to that app. Google for web sites offering "MAC address vendor lookup" and try M5 MAC address through them. If they correctly report it is TP-Link, then it is an app problem - contact its developer and ask to update it.
