This is an old Asus issue. Phantom devices can also show up

Thank you.

So what does it mean for us? Is it never getting fixed? Because it is very random. Same devices will show up later on and then disappear.

Is it also in the Asus official FW?

 

[Morris]

Yes it appears in the Asus firmware. Use the wireless log which is a Merlin feature. It is accurate.

Thank you.
Is there a way to view this log on the mobile app?

No, that's Merlin code though you could use a web browser on the phone and view the log.

Yes it is. I've had an RT-AC68U, an RT-AC86U, and an RT-AX86U and it has shown up in all of them using ASUS official firmware.
I've also had it show up in the AX86U Merlin. It's an odd bug. Some devices always show up and other never show up and there are some that drift in and out.
I don't rely on that display.
