Nighthawk RAXE290 showing un-owned devices as wired connections

That is what I was thinking too is that it was just some common error, however I am a not too sure as all these new devices are showing up as wired connections when I know the online thing plugged into the router for a wired connection is a powerline adapter. I am happy to provide screenshots of whatever may be necessary if need be.

Powerline adapters won't show as attached devices, only things connected through them.
I assume that you are looking at Access Control what does it look like in Attached Devices?
Sorry I meant to say "I know the ONLY thing plugged into the router for a wired connection is a powerline adapter." and that powerline goes to a nintendo switch which shows up correctly. As for the attached devices, none of the suspicious devices are shown there, only the devices which I actually own and can verify are the right devices. Though at this time all the ones that I deemed suspicious are blocked from connecting so I really hope that they don't start showing as connected.
