I'm still baffled! And reading more support questions on TP-Link forum basically the RE200 only supports proxy mode! Luckily OpenWRT seems to runs on it and that's what I'm going to flash it with. Sometimes you really wonder what those "tech people" have in mind when they design products!

wow... ok. So that would explain my problems! Thank you so much for identifying this issue! Geee.... you're amazing.. I was getting white hair (good excuse....). By the way, I didn't buy it, someone gave it to me. And indeed most of the devices changing MAC addresses are mainly connected...

Hey! So I have a 4 port Protectli (I think I mentioned it earlier), so far I'm actually using those 3 physical ports for Lan, IOT w/ and without Internet. For the MAC addresses thing I can post the Unifi AC LR (not mine) details: AP model: Ubiquiti UniFi-AC-LR WAN MAC address...

a bit OT but I'm looking at getting Dahua cameras, PoE for mainly outside, like the gate (on the street) and the yard. Any recommendation? So many products and choices.... and eventually 1-2 for inside (yeah I know.. that's already more than the 8 channels of my NVR... ) :oops:

Yes.. each network interface has a (different) MAC address, so a dual band wifi device will have at least 2 MAC addresses. I have Unifi wifi only supporting 2.4Ghz having 3 mac addresses: 1 for WAN 1 for a specifci wifi standard, and another one for the other standard. But the MAC addresses...

Hi! Small update: so I have 3 VLAN for now and while it was mainly easy to set up I'm be hit by MAC address changes on a few devices, namely those "lovely" Reolink cameras, my Xiaomi light bulbs, my TP-Link "smart plug" HS110. I didn't find any specific option related to MAC randomization in...

Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll start implementing the various suggestions, keeping track of it in a wiki (that's what I use for my IT stuff) and come back with probably more specific questions if I have any doubt. Thank you again. Fred

Hello! I initially thought what I wanted was 'standard' and looking at the 3 last pages of this section... it seems 'not really'. So Let's start with the basics: I have a PfSense box, a few Wifi Routers, 1 PoE switch (2+4) ports, some Unify APs, a Dahua NVR 8 channel 4 PoE, 3 (shitty) wifi...

So just everyone knows I went the Dahua road. This site has extensive descriptions and explanations and... I thought that'd be a good choice. Now I picked a 8channels 4PoE NvR and.. yes, I have too many wifi cameras. Bought them first one by one (I guess Teken has a point right at the beginning...

Thank you, that's a start. I will definitely check that. :)

Unfortunately no. Seeing no response here I thought I miswrote my question :facepalm: but am glad someone found it at least. Hopefully someone will chime in and save the (our) day! And if ever I find something I'll come and share. Thank you.

Hi! So I've read a lot of posts and discussions about the topic, lived in China and agree that selecting the cheapest NVR on Aliexpress is probably not a great idea (don't get me wrong, I thought about it ;-) ) Now I initially bought 2 Reolink wifi cameras a while ago to put inside the house...
