Why is my LG TV showing 4 different connections in Access Control?

My LG TV is reporting 4 different connections in the Access Control.  One shows the correct MAC Address and the other 3 are weird.


One Displays the MAC ID as just 42

the other two are just 8 random digits, that make no sense at all. 

 

I don’t have the access control turn on.  I am using the Netgear CAX30.

 

What is really weird is I had an Amazon plug that was doing the same thing, when I unplug that plug because I no longer use it then the TV started doing this.

 

Any thoughts or answers? Thanks.

      But,

       

      if I plug in an amazon plug, the tv connections go back to normal with only one MAC address and then the Amazon plug takes it’s place with 4 different MAC addresses.  Come home with my phone, connect to the wifi then the amazon plug goes back to normal, then the phone has 4 different mac addresses.

       

      something about the CAX30 is causing this.
