The 2 device thing I mentioned was the Xfinity modem seeing the one router as 2 because it was picking up both the virtual and the physical MAC. My router is the only device connected to the modem, but it was seeing two active devices, as if they were connected to a switch/hub. It should only...
Basically I just want to be able to use a virtual MAC on the router and have had no problems with that in the past until the more recent firmware updates. For some people they are asked to use MAC Clone as a troubleshooting step when working with their ISP support.

Unfortunately my workaround did not survive the latest firmware update. Now when I change the 6Ghz SSID in nvram it just reverts back to the auto generated one after reboot or toggling the radio. Asus seems to have also changed something such that the 6Ghz PSK is set to a long string of number...
I had the same problem -- not cool ASUS, please fix in a future firmware update.
My main router is the RT-BE88U (WiFi 7 5Ghz) and my node is the RT-AXE7800 (WiFi 6e 6Ghz). I came accross this thread looking for an answer. I don't want to reverse them because the BE88U is overall more capable...
