Model: Archer A20  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.3 Build 20191026 rel.16299

Poking around Traffic Monitor I see several MACs that I don't recognize and that don't come up in the Access Control list to Blacklist.

 

MACs I recognize and see on Access Control have names and show what channel they are using.

 

These three "ghost" MACs do not show what channel they are using (I have nothing hardwired) and have their IP addresses in the device name column.

 

They all show traffic usage in the kb to mb range on a daily basis.

 

What are they? Don't like traffic I can't control.

@Kaza 

 

Does this mean you can recognize all the other devices in the list except for these three? Is there any range extender in the network that connects to the A20?

 

Please also check you any of the devices in the network have enabled Private MAC addresses, which may create some MAC addresses that you are not aware of.
