Can someone please explain "connected wireless hosts" / "hosts with active connection" ?

Apologies for the noobish questions, or if I have them in the wrong subforum. I just switched to Gargoyle because I read it was patched against KRACK for my router (wrt1200ac).
Now I'm looking at the connected hosts tab on the router configuration page, and I see some unknown "hosts with active connections." The go on and off the list, have an unknown MAC address, and have the IP addresses 75.130.200.1, and 97.82.192.1, whereas all my networked devices are in the default 192. range. The 75.130.200.1 is also listed under "active routes" under the routing tab.
Iirc, I saw at least one of those addresses under the "connected wireless hosts" earlier as well -I've since changed SSID/key and some admin settings.
First of, can someone just clarify what is meant by "hosts with active connections"? Since 90% of them were recognized as my devices, I'm assuming it means devices on my local network.
And does anyone know what these IP addresses might represent, or how I could go about identifying them?
Thanks
