Offline device appears as online in Fing app

I have a a 2.4 and a 5ghz setup. I have 2 Amazon Firestick SB on the 2.4 network. Currently they are both unplugged. One of them insists on showing up in the Fing list of devices. Why? To confirm I tried ping and it fails of course. I have refreshed several times but it won't go away. I have seen this with other devices a well.
Any ideas?
Another question if I may. A basic one.
On my WiFi I have several smart devices on my 2.4ghz channel. A lot of them show up on the 5ghz channel in the Fing app. Wondering why. They have different SSIDs
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. My bad. Was just going to correct my self. I was going by badges I had assigned. Unfortunately I was looking at the win l wrong device. Sorry about that.
I am curious though about my 2bd question. Why do devices in my 2.4 channel show up in Fing on my 5 channel and visa versa?
The Fing App discovery will identify devices on a best effort basis, based on the information made available by the device, e.g. the MAC address.
Also, I would like you to make sure all devices are connected to your network on which the Fing App is currently connected to. If you are connected to the 5ghz network and Fing is connected to the 2.4ghz network even though they all have the same name, you might not see the devices connected under the Device tab. And, if the router has multiple network interface which provides multiple frequencies(2.4Ghz and 5Ghz), and the devices are able to connect to multiple access points then you will see multiple names but only one will be active at a time and others will be greyed out

8 must be sought something won't here. Some setting?
Thanks.
Any ideas. I is perplexed.
Can you check under router settings if the MAC address of the cameras matches the Fing app or not? If you are able to identify the device as yours then you can manually recognise the cameras. On Fing app, you can select the device and then you will find an option to manually identify the device.
To verify the misidentified device on Fing desktop, I would suggest to:
Install the Fing Desktop
Sign in and Go to Home tab
Scan for devices (Check if it is still identified as Roomba)
If the device is still recognized as Roomba then Click on the specific device
Click on Icon "Recognize" device
On our latest release of Fing Desktop (1.4.0) and onwards, we have actually included New features: Device recognition - It is now possible to manually recognize devices: when Fing recognition is not sharp enough, you can manually provide brand and model of your devices. Which will hopefully be of benefit to you. Thanks again

For what it's worth the Wyze camera is a version 1 firmware.
What the heck would cause this? Manufacturing labeling mistake?
Wouldn't have thought to check the router.
Thanks.
Off to Wyze I guess.
