Same MAC addresses for WAN, LAN, WiFi on WHR-G300N units?!?!
« on: September 10, 2009, 02:13:00 AM »
   I just found out that my new unit have the same MAC addresses for WAN, LAN, and WiFi.  This is the first time I've seen a router using the same MAC for all 3 interfaces.  Even my older Buffalo WHR-G54S units have unique MACs for all 3 interfaces.

   WAN and WLAN have the same MAC, WAN will only have the same MAC if in bridge mode. Make sure it's in router mode and then you can even enter the MAC you want for WAN side.

   You can't change the LAN/WIFI MAC but you can change the WAN address to something else when it's in router mode.
