Mac Address wrong

Hi 

When you set up the router and it uses the router MAC address and uses the default one that is the one on bottom of the router yes?

because all of the mac address is right apart from the last digit why is that if its using the router mac?

 

cheers

  • Yes it does use that address. If you're referring to the MAC address you can see next to "Use This MAC Address" in Internet Setup it is not using that address. It's got that there so if you decide to use that MAC instead then it's slightly different to the original.
