Thanks Chris. Using the wireless modem router which I haven't used for
over a year or two I managed to verify the unknown IP addresses.

You are absolutely correct: 2 of them are related to login IP
addresses for routers. The one that had me baffled is Wistron Neweb
Corp. which I searched and is a legitimate IP address for a Taiwanese
company that manufacturers wifi modules, one of which most likely
resides in my Technicolour Router.

Conclusion - nothing suspicious.
