R7900P - What’s wlan0 connected to my network?

In the NightHawk app, when I click on Device Manager, I see wlan0 as one of the devices connected.

This is the wireless LAN bridge device.

Thanks. The configuration I have is my cable modem and router connected to my NightHawk - using the latter as my wireless router/AP. I am curious though even though I had paused wlan0, I don’t see any issues. Shouldn’t internet access not be available when I am connected to my wireless network through my phone. It doesn’t appear so when I check internet speed. What am I missing?

Can you enlighten the messenger about where/how the wlan0 bridge could be disabled, e.g. in AP mode? The wlan0 is in my understanding the bridge between the LAN ports and the wireless, in AP mode including the WAN/Internet port.
