RT-AX86U Pro unrecognized client in wired connected devices list

Hi
I recently noticed i have an unrecognized client in my Network Map>Client Status>Wired connected devices list
When i go into it's properties i can see the IP assigned to it and mac#
This is confusing as the four wires going into LAN ports are 2x Set top boxes, Desktop PC & Smart TV!
This unknown wired device shows as the 5th connected device!
How is this possible when there is only 4 LAN ports and they are all accounted for?
Is this some sort of a bug?

More likely your PC is using a randomized mac. Or something has been plugged in previously and the mac is stuck in asus's gui.
*edit*
Having said that, it could even be a wifi device being mis-identified.
So yes, likely a bug.

Ahhh...thought so...
Is there a way to refresh the connected devices list to get rid of this bug?
(already rebooted router few times with no luck)
