Typically, malware is harder to run on linux due the system asking for a sudo password for anything that requires administrator privlages. There are also plenty of other factors that i dont feel like getting into

Sounds like a decent network segmentation setup. U dought that its the IOT devices because you make it sound like theres multiple types of them, so I would consider looking at your router a bit more.
One thing you can do is use a phone hotspot for trouble shooting and built off of it.
By any chance, do you know when you last updated the firmware on both the router and IOT devices? It's shockingly easy for IOT devices to get hacked and very easy to mask the data passing through.
Sounds like a bot net.
