    Is the rest of the MAC address the same? I presume it's not and it shouldn't be. The last two characters not not enough to cause a problem. Only if the entire address is the same would it, however it shouldn't be.

    Nothing wrong:

     

    • The MAC address printed on the label is the one for the LAN interface, so the same .78 you see on the connected clients.
    • The MAC+1 is the Internet/WAN interface MAC address.
