@Sunshine hello how's it going? 

No, actually it's only the router without a range extender (actually I even turned off the one mesh functionality) 

 

As for the wired/wireless issue it's hard to catch as it's sometimes a random occurrence but I'll take screenshots in tether once I do catch it, usually it's one of the wifi connected phones that sometimes get labeled as if connected through Lan though

Hi sunshine 

 

I also second this I currently have 11 devices online showing they are connected by ethernet when they are actually connected by wireless, 

 

6 of the devices are tp link cameras 4x tc70 and 2 c310 cameras. 

 

My ring door bell camera also says it's hard wired. 🤷🏼‍♂️ a Nintendo switch lite and a few tablets wifi plugs and wifi lightbulbs. 

 

As much as id like to hard wire all my devices for all round stability ect i cant. 

 

Another thing I have noticed if I refresh my client list sometimes the clients that are showing on the 5ghz wifi will dissappear even the bar thats says 5ghz. I then have to close the tether app then reopen it for the 5ghz client list to reapear. 

 

 

Not a big deal breaker for me just a annoying bug in the system for me. Its been like this since I first got my tp link routers 1x ax72 and 2x c6 routers then upgraded to 3x ax72's. 

 

Not sure if it's any help or relevance  but I'm currently running

 

3x ax72

 

1x main 

2x satellite in AP mode. 

 

Previous set up was

 

1x ax72 Main

2x archer c6

 

And I'm using the android tether app 4.2.32

This also happens with me as well.

One specific device (smartphone), without random MAC address or extenders, on my wired network (but it is really on my guest network)

This device, for security reasons, couldn't be on my main/wired network.

 

@Sunshine , hello!!

 

1. What is the model no., hardware and firmware version of your TP-Link Router? 

It's an Archer AX72 v1.0, 1.2.2 Build 20230927 rel.58345(5553)

 

 

2. What is the model no. of the phone that is detected as wired device?

It`s a Samsung Galaxy A51, latest firmware installed (two weeks ago I had reset it's networking configurations, but the problem persists)

 

3. Screenshots on Web Interface and Tether

 

This is the correct situation, the device is on the Guest Network:

 

But after some time, it`s start showing as if it was on the "Main Network", with the icon for wired devices.

 

 

 

This is the Web Interface:

 

Obs.

- The device isn't turned off, but a little bit far from the router.

- After some seconds i've entered web interface, the device "comes back" online on correct 2.5g wifi network (on Web Interface and after on App), but after some time the problem happens again on Tether.

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

  @Sunshine , hello!

 

Cisco is the name of my Archer AX72 router (and my pet name, lol).

 

Actually my topology is pretty simple, I have a cable modem connected to my AX72 WAN Port, some devices on my main wireless network (my notebook, cellphones, ipad, chromecast, Alexa), some on my IOT wireless network (smart infra-red control, smart power plugs) and some on my Guest Network (mostly friends cellphones when they visit me). Nothing wired connected to the router.

Everything works fine, excepts that Samsung cellphone that insists to shows up in the wired network (instead of in the Guest Network)

 

Thanks!
