Peculiar syslog entries

RT-AC86U running Merlin 3004.388.8.2
The following entries occasionally appear in the router's log

Aug 23 00:10:09 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(685): wl0.2: Auth 40:A9:CF:E5:4C:34, status: Successful (0), rssi:0

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.

It would be 2.4GHz guest network.

One of these must be a typo.

 

[Patrick9876]

AX86U.

An Amazon device of some sort.

 

[Patrick9876]

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?)

 

[ColinTaylor]

It's WL (wl) not WI. wl0.2 is the second guest Wi-Fi network on the 2.4GHz band.

 

[Patrick9876]

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.

An Amazon device it was!
