Hi all,
can someone educate me as to why the mac address used by my router results in the internet either working or not working.
My configuration:
VUMA ONT --> ASUS RT-AC68U router --> various devices (wired / wireless).
Package: Afrihost 100Mbps+ Vuma Aerial Pure Fibre
The router has a clone mac address feature. if I clone any of my mac addresses for example the router wireless mac address or any of my devices the internet works across all devices. However if I use the lan mac address of my router or don't specify a mac address to clone then the internet stops working after applying the change on the router.
Thought this might be the ISP blocking that particular mac address but support has indicated they don't do that nor can they tell me why this is happening, a line reset was also tried but that didn't resolve the issue either.
Any help would be appreciated.
