Access Points lists wired devices not connected to it

Hello,

I have been using an EX6200 as a wired access point for a little over a year. I have no wired devices connected to it, but when I look at it through Netgear Genie, it list around 26 wired devices, which are devices connected to my host router, though some have no IP addresses at all, just an ellipses where the IP address should be.

I think I might have asked this question over a year ago, but I worded it poorly, and I am trying to eliminate some connectivity issues, so I wanted to confirm once more if this is normal, or if there is something I need to do on either the AP or my gateway to prevent this.

Thank you in advance for your patience and help.

I usually use the IP address. I don't have that extender to compare to.

But its not unusual for it to see devices connected to the router and show them as wired. 

I know my old extender used to do the same with my netgear router prior to using orbi.

What does it show if you log in through the browser instead of the genie?

Thanks for your quick reply. 

I am logging in from my browser using the AP's IP address. At the first page after login the top of it says "Netgear Genie".

Is there another way I should be logging in?

Thank you.
