Peculiar syslog entries

RT-AC86U running Merlin 3004.388.8.2
The following entries occasionally appear in the router's log
Code: 
Aug 23 00:10:09 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(685): wl0.2: Auth 40:A9:CF:E5:4C:34, status: Successful (0), rssi:0
Aug 23 00:10:09 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(722): wl0.2: Assoc 40:A9:CF:E5:4C:34, status: Successful (0), rssi:-56
Aug 23 00:11:12 kernel: wl0: random key value: 4A76292C1CB08B207A7501B952FB47E115564F6B55740C4D429FBAD4807B524A

I don't recognize that MAC address as anything on my LAN. I also have no idea what the wl0 interface (or port, or whatever) is. What are these log entries about?
Just idle curiosity.
 
Interesting. I don't have an Amazon device of some sort. Are Wi interfaces wireless? (That would make sense.) I suppose the device could be a neighbor's. I know nothing about such devices but I assume it would have to pick one of my SSIDs and security key. Is the any way to associate Wi0.2 to a specific SSID? (Or is that a stupid question?)
 
Interesting. My guest network security keys are pretty weak but I'm going to assume this is something I've set up to use the guest network rather than a neighbor's device that has guessed the key.

Confirmed. It's a Kindle. I have no idea why it decided to connect shortly after midnight. But the mystery is solved. Thank you.
