Hi CrimpOn,
Thank you for the update.
I know what apple states in the article you listed and I totally concur but on my Orbi RBR50 I have many "Unknown MAC addresses" in the
Access Control section under "View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network" in a household with 95% only Apple devices.
I did check these MAC addresses out (wireshark) and found these were random MAC addresses generated by these Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs).
It does make sense that Apple changes MAC address every time it connects to a Wi-Fi. It would not be a good private solution if the coffee shop with free internet knows your device comes back every time with the same MAC address.
