MAC Addresses don't Match

Hi, I have a new iPhone, and a new home network as well. I've been going through all the connected devices on the router and I've noticed that the MAC address on my iPhone doesn't match the MAC address stated on the router.

My other devices, TV's, consoles, laptops, iPads, and other iPhones all match perfectly.

Is this normal? I've never seen this before and I'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong with either my phone or my router.

Thanks.

If you have ios14 the phone generates a spoof mac address to stop companies profiling you.

You can turn it off in Settings. Wifi and tap the (i) on the network concerned and turn off Private Address

You need to turn it off for every network individually.
