Hi Sepulchre,

                         You must reserve the virtual MAC address of your cameras, but not the actual MAC address. You can look for it under connected devices of extender after connecting cameras to extender.

    Hi Sepulchre,

                              Only the first part will be same. If you check last 6 characters, it'll be different for each devices.

      I checked and the vurtual Mac address is the same for all cameras.

       

      I have an ipad and a PC also being given the same Mac address, although different from the cameras.

       

      All 12 digits checked
