Odd iPhone client, RT N66U

[randomName]

When I check my 'Client Status' on the Network Map tab, my iPhone appears on a Wired AND 5GHz connection. The wired connection even has an ip address. How does that happen?

Is it the same IP? Do you have another AP on the network?

No they are different.. Sorry should have stated that.. no I just have the one router.. even still, why does it show it's wired? that's weird.. it will show it for a second then disappear

Not sure. I know that area of the GUI is buggy some times.

iPhones like to randomize their MAC. My guess is, it's that old bug where offline clients can appear as being Wired on the client list because the router has no idea which interface it initially used. So, you have the client on the old randomized mac showing as wired, and the currently connected one showing on its correct band.
