Yup, I get that. However, when I have an IP reserved in the router and its a LAN, not wifi, and it stops, i check the mac of the directv box and its different than was was reserved. It changed. I have to then reserve the NEW mac on the directv box. this has happened at least four times, maybe five. Different jobs.
record the two MAC addresses you are getting. I can guarantee you they are the same two alternating. not a third or fourth rogue MAC. they can bounce between wifi and ethernet (LAN is wrong term). especially if there was ever a problem with the internet and a client goes through the internet setup wizard. if the box has EVER been connected to wifi it can and will bounce between wifi and ethernet.
