ORBI RBR20 plus 2 satellites with same MAC

The main router RBR20 reports that the 2 satellites RBS20 while they have different IP's they both have the same MAC address - confirmed also from the labels on the base of both items.

Question.

Is this standard and can it contribute to issues with network updates.

I'm finding if I make a change in a static route for a device on my network then a number of restarts are required before the system settles down.

 

If it is, then I will simply work with the known working process.

Sorry guy's, old age, I had a brain fart and a bit dislexic. There is a difference between 9D and D9.

 

All good, I'll go back to my devices and sort em out.
