Any progress on your iPhone and iPad config?
Have disabled this Private Network (random MAC) nonsense on all your Apple as well as potentially other wireless devices in the meantime?
Have re-connected after changing to the physical MAC?
Does that other suspect random MAC device still show up as a currently connected device?
