router.asus.com is accessing my computer system. I don't see any reason for this to be happening. In the screenshot 192.168.50.255 is active and I almost never see this active. Asus RT-AC1200 routing pool is from 192.168.50.2 to 192.168.50.254. In Advance IP Scanner the 192.168.50.255 will show up there but with my computers MAC Address, and I have my own private IP Address. So, to say this is confusing to me, it is. I think someone is accessing these networks and even the 192.168.50.255 very close by and should not be.

Thank you,

router.asus.com is accessing my computer system.
No it isn't. It's the other way around. Your computer is accessing router.asus.com which is the domain name associated with your router's IP address.

192.168.50.255 is the broadcast address of your LAN so it's normal to see traffic on that address.
