Fonera FON2100A: Why is the MAC address online different than the one found on my router? (via: Fon Support)

Why is the MAC address online different than the one found on my router?

If you look at your router information in your user area at fon.com, you will notice that the MAC ID is different than the one found at the bottom of the Fonera.

This is nothing to be worried about. Both MAC IDs are associated with the same Fonera. The MAC ID in the user area is associated with the FON_ signal.

The MAC ID found at the bottom of the Fonera refers to the LAN port.

Specifically for the FON2100A, there are 2 MAC addresses based on the sticker on the bottom of your FON:

  • MAC address on the sticker = MAC for WAN,
    for instance 00:18:84:XX:YY:f6
  • MAC address for FON_FREE_INTERNET WiFi = sticker+1,
    for instance  00:18:84:XX:YY:f7
  • MAC address for MyPlace WiFi = sticker+2,
    for instance  00:18:84:XX:YY:f8

001884 is the OUI for Fon Technology S.L.

You can find that for instance at MAC Address / WWN / Vendor Lookup – WintelGuy.com –.
