Secret gadget captures Wi-Fi signals for data extraction
You're trying to locate a suspicious device on your Ubiquity network using a different MAC address each day. It's appearing under a new identifier, which makes it tricky to track. Since you're using Starlink with a daily cap of 1TB, this could be a concern. The issue might not be a major device because your home network members think you didn't turn it off. Your security cameras are already secured on the switch, so it's likely someone else is using it. You're looking for a "mystery device" that's consuming 25GB daily—this could help narrow down the search.
I saw on my iPhone a setting in the WiFi menu for Private WiFi Address. It appears this feature changes your MAC address each time you join a network. It’s meant to help hide tracking when using public Wi-Fi. If you have an iOS device, it might work that way. Other devices could have similar settings.
I would modify your network name and password initially. After confirming successful connection, I would configure a MAC filter whitelist so only devices with approved MAC addresses can join.
The device increased its speed to an impressive 90 Mbps after scanning the network using advanced IP technology.

It's not your device, but how can I tell if it's a switch? @da na
It appears the switch, access point, or router behaves similarly if it continuously updates its MAC address and boosts performance under higher network demand. Have you completed the scan yet? Review the manufacturer's guidelines.
