I have an AX58U running the latest Merlin WRT. Ive noticed on there, that when I look at the client list, some connections are shown as duplicate. It says there are 2 clients for that IP and MAC address. For example, see the attached image. In that picture, one of the instances is my (wired) printer. Im quite sure I have only one printer, and one LAN connection. So why does it show as duplicate?

Also, when I go onto the ASUS router iPhone app, it shows currently disconnected clients. I have a number that show as Samsung phones, and a number that show as Texas Instruments devices, with MAC addresses Im not aware of. Im pretty sure my router was brand new; it came in a new box from Best Buy. Could these be artifacts from the writing and testing of the firmware? Could these be peoples' devices that tried to connect to my router? I do have a strong password with my SSID...

Thanks!
