Access Control

I have my Access Control on my C7000 set to block all new devices from connecting.  When i check my block list the is always at lest 3 MAC Addresses listed. I have changed my SSID several times and also did a factory reset but after several days they still appear.  Can someone please explain this and should I be  concerned about someone accessing my network with  authorization. 

 

Thanks

    Do you have any devices plugged in via ethernet to the network?

      No other devices. I only use my iPad Pro and my iPhone and both of those are on the  except list of  Devices and both I  use wifi.

        I would double check that a smart TV or tv type box isnt on the network.
