Archer C7 V2 - Changed MAC Adress after Update to 2014-09-11
Region : Germany
Model : Archer C7
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 2014-09-11
ISP : None
Hello together,
yesterday I updated my C7 V2 from 2013-12-17 to 2014-09-11.
Internet and things are working normally but when I enter the status page the wireless 2.4 GHZ and LAN MAC-adress are shown as identical:
I found an old screen with firmware still on factory (2013-12-17), there ist shows everything as normal:
At first I thought about a bug in the UI but I also checked the properties in the wireless area of the laptop and also there I also see changed MAC-adresses in comparison to 2013-12-17:
2.4 GHZ network:
5.0 GHZ network:
So the question still is: What happened here? Do I really flashed the MAC?
Thanks for help in advance!

I got the same question of c7_v2
and I have called TP-link,
they gave me the answer is that
in the latest firmware,they have used new definition of LAN MAC address and Wireless MAC address.
2.4G MAC address is the same as the LAN MAC address.
So it is not a bug.

Good to know ;)
Here a screenshot with Singapore firmware 2014-06-17 on "German" device:
Hopefully they can fix that in future. Besides that I hope to see a stable DD-WRT build for V2.
Regards and many thanks for your inputs!
