Please tell me that this is just a discovery process and all those devices are not going through the netgear to gain access to the network.
That is correct when AP mode or bridge as some company's call it, all devices will show up as wired EXCEPT devices attached to AP's wifi. Devices attached via wifi on main router will also show as Wired too.
Right jus like I said the first comment was a mistake on my part. Now if your so called gateway is in bridge mode then it's not a gateway it's a bridge tethered by lan to your modem/router which initially is the gatway. Now most modem/routers have the option to be put in bridge mode or some call it ip mode if this done it's by passed to a aftermarket router which then is the primary default gateway. Don't get confused on a modem being bridged and router being bridged. One has no access per the GUI and the other has limited access now when I say no access I'm saying no access to the features. I wasn't gonna teach 1st grade no more but I made an exception kind sir.
