I added a new computer to my network via ethernet but the RT-AX88U is showing the connection as wireless in the network map. I've checked that the wifi is disabled on the machine. I tried rebooting the router but it did not make a difference. I know this isn't a big deal, but I am curious why it would be happening. Thank you.
 
Client List quirk, known and normal for Asuswrt, disregard. It was never accurate.

More accurate information about what is connected over Wi-Fi is available in System Log page, Wireless Log tab.
 
I've noticed for clients reporting the same MAC address for both interfaces once you connect wirelessly it always shows as wireless in Client List even if you switch to wired. There is a file in /jffs with this data, but I don't have an Asus router running at the moment to check what it was.
