Unknown wlan0 devices on 2.4 ghz Orbi network
On my RBR750 router with two wireless mesh satellites (Orbi RBK752 system), I occasionally see two devices connected to the 2.4 ghz wireless network, and they are both labeled “wlan0”. What are these?...

What are these? Are they associated with the satellites? All other devices in the house are accounted for in the devices list, but I don’t know what the wlan0’s are.Do these devices appear in the Orbi 'app' or in the web interface Attached Devices page?
The next time they appear, you can record the MAC address of each and look up the manufacturer of the wireless chip at this web site:
