Seeing devices twice in mesh setup

[JasonUK]

My setup:

ISP: Sky Broadband 30Mbps fibre
Modem: Sky Hub 3.0 (Modem Mode)
Routers: GT-AC5300 + RT-AC68U (Meshed)

Please see screenshot. Some of our devices are showing as being connected to both routers at the same time. The IP addresses are showing differently.

Not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help with this?

Which one showing different IPs?
I see them all with same IP left and right.

It’s showing Jays iPhone and Adheels iPhone as being connected to the main router (RT-AC5300) and connected to the mesh node (RT-AC68U) and the IPs are different.

On different WiFi bands 2.4 and 5GHz. Seems they switched over.

But they show at the same time? At my other home, i never see such issues. Maybe the node is too close to main router? Connection quality is -55dBm

Most likely buggy App is happening. Don't trust this one too much.

I think you are right! When I check via the browser login, it doesn’t show duplicates but the Asus app shows it.

This App has multiple issues, including security. It enables Access from WAN to your router. Better use VPN to access your network and forget about the app. Don't expect WebUI Network Map to be exactly accurate though, it has it's own issues.
