The extender uses the Virtual MAC. So the base station needs to know about the virtual mac address, but i suspect there will be a conflict assigning the same IP to different MACs.

    Hi Netwrks,

     

    I added both the Physical MAC Address and the Virtual MAC from the extender to the Address Reservation and still got a random DHCP Address. I think the Router and the Extender with the Media-Center connected via LAN to the extender doesnt allow the DGND4000 to assign the reserved address.

     

    I`ve found a way around with reserving a fake MAC address for the IP Address i want and then setting the NIC on the media center to static.

     

    Regards
