I have two Extenders (used as Access Points) in my Home Network. My main NightHawk WiFi Router is also an Access Point to my EDGE Router. Both of my Extenders have 3 MAC Addresses on the bottom (as well as shown in the web interface . . . MAC 1, MAC 2, and MAC 3.) Is the MAC 1 the primary MAC address that identifies the Extender? I want to enter the static IP that I've assigned to each of the Extenders into my EDGE router table. I need to know which MAC address I should use to associate with the IP.

Does the user manual give any information about the Mac addresses seen?
There's a section in the manual that talks about adding the Extender's MAC address into the Router's Filter Table: "On the router, add the extender’s virtual MAC address and all the virtual MAC addresses connected to the extender network to your router’s MAC filter table"
This has me confused. Do I add all three MAC Addresses to the router (assigned to the same IP)? Is there a main MAC Address, and the other two are "virtual"?
