What IoT devices, like smart plugs, smart bulbs and wifi cameras, do you have connected to the router's WiFi?

Personally I see those kinds of entries in the system log all the time due to the various devices I have connected to the router's WiFi. From my smartphone to various IoT devices.

Although this entry states "successful" the "rssi:0" means it's not connected.
Typical when there is a device close by that hasn't been set up on a wifi network and just tries it's luck with yours. Devices like this will connect to any unsecured wifi to call home.
Your WiFi is secure, so just consider it log noise and ignore.
