I don't know the cause, but did take a quick look at the code.
One thing that makes it very difficult to follow is that you use the
same variable names over and over making it hard to keep track of what
any given 'item' or 'json_string' or 'r' actually holds at any given time.

Buy using  a different name for each json_string reflecting the
expected data - such as json_networks or json_clients - it would
be very much easier to follow the flow of the code.

Probably but I confess I couldn't spot it from a casual read through.

The 'item's in the last loop appear to be the same as the 'client's
in the previous loop? Since 'json_string' never changes...

Also the setialnumlist only prints the result it never stores anything.

Then the last loop uses item.get(mac) which will not be the one printed
earlier since item is now read from json_string(back tome earlier
confusion over names!)

I suspect this lack of continuity may be the root of your problem
but the name collisions are twisting my brain and its late at night...
