WiFi 6E AX211 showing as bogon

[rfemali3]

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon with a WiFi 6E AX211 wireless card. I have found that every time I connect to my WiFi network at home, my pfsense will show 3 attempts from bogon 0.0.0.0 with the mac address of that WiFi card attempt to connect. Once the laptop connects to my WiFi I have no issues speed or maintaining connection, but I am curious as to this behavior. Can anyone advise?

You have a bad address somewhere.

The laptop itself is set for DHCP.  It has an IP reservation in the firewall. The reserved address conforms to iana and RFC1918 for private use as does every other device on my network so I am unsure how I would be getting a bad address on the MAC of the WiFi card.

Why do you have a reservation in the firewall when you are using DHCP?

You are using a bad address somewhere.  And it does not necessarily mean on you local network.

Maybe you should stop the reserved IP, stop the iana and RFC1918, and make your PC DHCP, and make sure your router is properly setup.

Whatever the case, the problem is on your side and not an Intel problem.

Also, the last time I saw a bogon was 15 to 20 years ago, and was the result of a bad DNS (which I believe was verizon).

Make sure you are using a GOOD dns in your router.
