Model: RE605X  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.6 Build 20240819 Rel. 59464

Hi there,

 

I recently bought the RE605X. It is working as expected and I am happy with the network speed and such.

Except, all connected devices share the same virtual MAC address from the device, 2A:23:51:72:66:EB in my case.

My setup features no mesh, just plain repeater mode with DHCP on my router.

 

I find it unusual and this makes it impossible to assign custom IPs on my router if needed.

My older repeater would assign different MAC addresses so I didn't have any duplicates.

 

Is this the custom behavior and can this be changed?

 

Thank you and best regards

Thorsten

Hi  @netsroht,

Please see the link below then you will know why clients' Mac address are the same as the RE605X: Proxy Mode - Retrieve Virtual MAC Address from the Wi-Fi Range Extender

If you need to view the real MAC address of a connected device, log in to the extender's management interface and view the list of connected devices.
