TRENDnet, Inc. — 4 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 00:14:D1, 3C:8C:F8, 78:2D:7E, or D8:EB:97 belongs to TRENDnet, Inc., a Torrance, California networking and surveillance-hardware manufacturer, and typically identifies a consumer or small-business router, switch, wireless access point, or IP camera/NVR.

TRENDnet was founded in 1990 and is headquartered at 20675 Manhattan Place, Torrance, CA. The company sells more than 350 networking, surveillance, and connectivity products — Ethernet switches, routers/gateways, wireless APs, IP cameras and NVRs, PoE gear, powerline adapters, KVMs, patch panels — across more than 125 countries, with active retail distribution and a current corporate site.

IEEE's registry lists four separate MA-L (24-bit) blocks assigned to TRENDnet, Inc., all sharing the same registered address. Consolidating them into one vendor entry is more useful than four near-duplicate per-prefix pages, since all four resolve to the same manufacturer and device categories.

TRENDnet's brand carries a documented, recurring security history worth flagging for anyone matching these prefixes. The FTC's 2014 consent order followed 2013 findings that TRENDnet IP cameras transmitted and stored login credentials in clear text, letting outsiders view live feeds from roughly 700 customers; the order imposed a 20-year biennial third-party security-assessment requirement. Separately, CVE-tracked flaws hit specific branded devices: TV-IP110WN/TV-IP121WN camera buffer overflows (CVE-2018-19240, CVE-2018-19241) and TEW-827DRU router command injection (CVE-2024-28353, CVE-2024-28354) granting a root shell via apply.cgi.

IEEE's public OUI data does not publish an assignment or registration date for any of these four blocks — only organization name and address. A third-party lookup site lists a date for each prefix, but that is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not presented as one here.

Analyst note

Four MA-L blocks under one registrant with a real, ongoing consumer/SMB hardware product line and a decade-plus documented pattern of security findings — treat matches as genuine TRENDnet hardware, and treat exposed-service findings on these ranges as plausible given the brand's track record.
