Interesting. I can find at least three times in different sections and threads.

We're happy to assist on real issues, but neither the unpaid community members participating in our spare time. However, we can't help with such modifications.

What you have shown is data coming from database which is part of your Wi-Fi scanner or analyzer application.
Sure, the Product name (plus some more) information might be visible over the network (mostly on the LAN or the WLAN). The OUI part is intentionally set by all vendors to start the OUI in the MAC address. FMI: https://standards.ieee.org/faqs/regauth/
While it's your own router, you can do almost everything you desire. But don't cry or complain here if things re no longer working as designed and intended.
Blunt theory, you might be able to change the base MAC address from where the numbering for the LAN or sometimes the first wireless adapter. Said that, you must exactly know about the internal design and data structures.
What on earth you want to achieve here - the "perfect" privacy, or some security by obscurity?
