To recap. (I forget easily)

AX86S shows eth5 eth6 for radios

AX86U shows eth6 eth7 for radios

Mainly, I’m seeing repeated issues with the same MAC address continuously switching from eth6 to eth7.  I’m basically seeing the below lines:-

So now we know for the RT-AX86U which ethx ports are the radios, this verifies that the duplicate MAC address is wifi radio related, does this happen with any other devices and what is this actual device (iPhone maybe) ?

Also, does the log give any indication as to IP address or addresses of the device that seems to be switching between wifi radios.

Also, double check the duplicate MAC Address hitting eth6 eth7  are exactly the same as both Android and iOS does have a security feature called MAC Address Randomization.
