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.

You said printed and on Windows it shows :78 (this is the LAN interface MAC) while the :79 you see on the Internet screenshot is one higher as expeced - so again, perfectly right.
Was there anything specific you were trying to achieve here that we can help you with?
Netduma_Jack the OP mentioned "The 2 is my ports i have active port 4 and the led is on but in the duma os th uses port 1" was this addressed by some firmware updates, or do we face early manufacturing units where the numbers/printing/LED don't match?
