Devices with static IP addresses have dynamic IP addresses when connecting through Range Extender
It appears the RE220 Range Extender does not use the MAC address of the device, which is the MAC address the primary router binds an IP address to for static IP addressing.
The Range Extender uses a modified version of the MAC address of the device!
That causes the primary router to think it is a new device, and gives it a new IP address.
We can't have devices that support web login change IP addresses on the network based on which device they connect to for internet access!
And Parental Controls based on IP address or MAC address will become more tedious.
Can TP-Link Range Extenders be made to use the MAC address of the devices without altering it?
