Model: RE220  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.23 Build 230418 Rel.60395n (8583)

First of all, this was extraordinarily difficult to set up with an IP that fit my localnet.  Took three factory resets and reconfigurations before it worked.  (I am a computer programmer, and I know what I'm doing.)

 

Secondly, I bought this for one reason only.  I have a Netgear extender and for any device connected behind it, the Netgear reports the MAC address of the extender, not the MAC address of the device.  I asked Rufus (Amazon's smart assistant) specifically if the TPLink extender reported the MAC address of the device behind it, and Rufus assured me it did.  But the TPLink extender again reports its own MAC address instead of the MAC address of the device connected to it.  So, a complete waste of money for me since it performs no better than my existing Netgear.  Extremely disappointing!!!
