Dear Merlin,
The Router has some issues with the exposing MAC address.
If I want to retrieve the MAC by code (c++, c#, c, etc..)
Example c-sharp: NetworkUtils.GetMacAddress(IPAddress.Parse(172.22.56.1))
it does give a complete different MAC Address then the address I can see on the system status tab.
On the system status tab I can see "LAN MAC address" and "Wireless 5Ghz MAC address" as 50:46:5D:5E:83:B0 and the same MAC with the last hex as B4..
The Wireless 2.4 Ghz shows me the same MAC as the LAN MAC..
However, with I use the networkutils from windows to retrieve the MAC based on the IP.. I get a whole different MAC..
any ideas? Bug?

as you can see in the output, the MAC addresses listed on the Asus System Status page are not the ones my devices in the network see
