Misreads MAC Address

Post by Paul C »

I know the IP of my wireless router. Vistumbler misreads the last digit, reporting it as 06 instead of 07. Could it be making similar mistakes on the other AP's it picks up?


Edited to add: I had a brain glitch... I meant to say, Vistumbler misreads the MAC address. Sorry for the confusion.

Vistumbler reports the last two characters of my work router's MAC address as E4. The actual MAC ends in E5. (The rest of the characters is correct.)

Ahh, makes sense. I was just comparing what ViStumbler listed vs what I was reading off the label of these D-Link routers.
