Model: RE650  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.9 Build 20250808 Rel. 57199

Why I get unknown MAC at WLAN ACCESS Point (DSL Fritzbox)  from devices connected to RE650 with correct MAC ?
If devices are connected to WLAN ACCESS Point (DSL Fritzbox) the MAC is correct. Of course I switched of Android and IOS random MAC generation !
IoT devices do not have at all this random MAC feature like IOS and Android!

I do not want this behavior of RE650 and where can I switch off this problerm or bug ! All my IoT Device connected over RD650 repeater get a funky MAC and I could not give them a "static"  or always the same IP by MAC :-(   (Fritz box can do but not with RE650 repeated devices reliable) On reboot new DHCP IPs

 

No one is spying in my own WLAN in promiscuous mode for MAC and is making time protocols to make walk by anti anonymous profiles ... looks like some open source IP stack was compiled with out config with out knowledge 

 

Please no answer config your 20 devices with static IPs cause I want to access one WLAN repeated device by static IP MAC binding from outside !

RD650 Firmware is not IoT usable if ACESS Point uses DHCP and fixed IP by MAC. e.g. connect a Raspi Homeassitant Server repeated over RD650


Schematic Now              Fritzbox DHCP

MAC1                            Random MAC1  (xx:89:F5:xx:xx:xx)
MAC2         RD650        Random MAC2  (xx:89:F5:xx:xx:xx)
...

MACx                             Random MACx  (xx:89:F5:xx:xx:xx)


Looks also that there are some ghost MACs with xx:89:F5:xx:xx:xx created at Fritzbox with no traffic :-(

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, this behavior can't be changed. All of these "Works with any Wi-Fi router" range extenders modify the MAC addresses of the connected client devices in one way or another. This is what allows these sort of wireless range entenders to work in the first place, since a proper networking standard for this does not exist.
