I must be blind as a bat...where do I find my router's WAN MAC? I have an ASUS RT-AC66R running v378.51. Thanks.
The MAC address on the bottom of my router is the MAC for the 2.4 GHz wireless. The other other MAC I have found in the UI is the MAC for the 5 GHz wireless. Both the LAN and 2.4 GHz MACs are found under the 2.4 GHz tab under System Status. The 5 GHz tab shows the LAN MAC and the 5 GHz MAC.It's usually on a label at the bottom of your router.

So, I'm still a bit confused...
Is the LAN MAC supposed to be the same as the 2.4 GHz MAC?
Where can I find the WAN port MAC?
Thanks.
ip link show eth0
This returned the same MAC so I ran the following...Running the following command over SSH will give you the WAN interface's MAC:
Code:ip link show eth0
ip link show

Maybe someone can confirm the same results on their router?Sorry, not trying to be a PITA. Just confused...
