Dear list,

Best Regards

I was under the impression that if wlan and lan are not bridged in a router packets being passed to the WAN interface all carry the router’s MAC address as SRC, in other words that MAC addresses are only reliable in individual L2-segments… (this in turn could be used as an argument for L2-bridging in smallish home environments)
