I have a Netgear AC1750. I have noticed that 192.168.x.x and my Android phone say my Nexus 6P phone has one MAC address starting in AC

However, when I use the Genie app, the network monitor says my phone has a MAC address starting in AA.

Genie correctly displays the correct MAC address for all other devices. When I go to 192.168.x.x on my phone, it shows the correct MAC address. What is going on here? I have MAC filtering, so only the MAC addresses that I have allowed can connect.
 
Also, when I run the Netgear Genie app on my tablet (Nexus 7 2012), it detects my cellphones correct MAC address. Interestingly, my tablet's MAC address appears correctly on Genie on both my tablet and my phone.


Why is my Nexus 6P's MAC address appearing incorrect when I run Genie on it?

UPDATE: I rebooted my Nexus 6P, and now Genie reports it with a MAC address starting 1E. What is going on here? Is this a Marshmallow/Nougat feature of some sort?
