Orbi multiple Mac Addresses
I have an ORBI router and two satellites. The router has MAC Address A0:04:60:22:1A:B2. I have a network scanner (fingbox) which every day reports a "Rogue Access Point" with the MAC address A6:04:60...

Sure. The Orbi RBR and RBS each have two mac addresses. Those starting in A6 are from the 2.4 GHz radios. Those starting in A0 are from the 5 GHz client radios.
At least that's how mine is.

2 MAC addresses *per SSID*. If you use the guest network, that's 4 MAC adresses. If you count the hidden backhaul, that's 6 MAC addresses per device.
