You don't say what these devices are.
Some wifi like to change their MAC address, ostensibly for security reasons.
Then there are things that can have more than one MAC address. (Wired and wifi, for example.)
If you want to investigate further, do an Internet search for the MAC address. It will tell you who made the thing.
ROUTER is R6220.
There is absolutely no need to post your message anywhere else. The question you pose applies to just about every router going.
As it is, the difference between your router and the standard Nighthawk devices is probably just the price. They are a bit more expensive with extra bells and whistles. They often look the same.
Repeating your message elsewhere is just a pointless and unconstructive waste of time. It also clutters up the place.
If you do have a question that relates to your router, by all means use the section dedicated to your hardware.
