SMC router broadcasting strange packet

Whenever I change settings on my SMC router, it sends out a stream of 64B packets with a source and destination MAC of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (broadcast) for a short time, then stops. It will also (seemingly at random) spit out the same packet from time to time.
Any idea what it is, or if it might impact other devices on the network? There doesn't seem to be any valid data in the packet (wireshark doesn't classify it as any certain packet, and I can't see any ARP/IGMP/routing info etc in the data section of the packet).

(sample packet)
0000 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 80 28 ........ .......(
0010 14 18 01 00 01 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ ........
