GL.iNet router shows 5 connected devices — only one is mine, the others show traffic but no speed

Hi everyone,
I’m using a GL.iNet Mudi V2 router and I’ve noticed a strange issue. When I log into the router interface at 192.168.8.1, it shows 5 connected devices, but I’m the only person actively using the network.

Out of those 5:

  • Only my device displays a speed.
  • The other 4 show some traffic, but zero speed.

Additional details:

  • No other known devices are powered on or in use.
  • The guest network is disabled.
  • I have Blue Merle firmware installed.
  • I’m also running a VPN (WireGuard) on the router.

I’m wondering:

  • Could these be ghost entries or VPN-related artifacts?
  • Is this related to MAC address randomization?
  • Or could someone be connected without showing proper activity?

Has anyone else experienced something like this with the Mudi V2?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Could you please share a screenshot of the interface showing those devices?
