WAX202 rouge 2.4 GHz endpoint
I have a couple WAX202 WiFi routers and in both cases I am seeing a rogue 2.4Ghz endpoint that shows up after a short amount of time of the router being online. I have seen this happen on 2 devices...

I am using IOS/Mac devices but my Mac is on the 5Ghz band and not on the 2.4Ghz band. So, that part does not seem to make sense here.

I can also disconnect my Mac and I still see an endpoint connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. So that also clears the Mac Internet relay function.

and you have no other mac/ios devices?
Is bandsteering enabled on the WAX? if so, it might have been connected to the 2.4ghz. It doesn't drop off immediately.
