Why last digit of MAC address listed on the sticker vs router connected devices is different? Sticker shows D but in the router connected devices shows E. Any idea why?

    If it has 2 interfaces, say Ethernet and WiFi, it will have two different MAC addresses, one for each. I guess they only wrote one on the box?

      Usually wifi and wired are different manufacturers, so have very different MACs. More likely this is 2ports on the same Ethernet chip, one for wan and one connecting on the internal switch.
