Hi friends!

 

I'm having some troubles with Private Mac Addresses and my Archer C9 v2.

 

I just cant join my Wireless Network with devices marked with the private mac enabled.

 

But if i disable the Private Mac Address, i can connect the devices.

I tried to turned on/off the Security Options (such as SPI Firewall, Access Controls, and ARP Bindings), but i had no success.

 

I already know that i can just disable the private mac address option on the device (Apple Iphone 12, for example), but this is a situation that i want to avoid, specially if i need to allow some guests to join my Wifi Network, and i just couldn't find a solution for this.

 

Remembering that the private mac address function gives the device a random mac address when joining a network, for security reasons. This function are beeing implementeded by Google and Apple on their devices.

 

The funny thing is: my devices cant connect with the random mac generated by the device, but if i open the "Wireless Stations Statistics", the random mac appears on the list (such as the connection type - in my case, 2.4 Ghz -, security type, and the received and sent packets with a low value (because it couldnt connect, but were recognized by the router).

 

Someone give me a tip about this trouble?

 

Thanks, my friends!
