Has anyone else seen it when you login to the Uverse router, the mac address listed conntected arent the same as the mac add listed oin the uverse devices?  all of mine seem to be one letter off.  like the last number are a2 on device and logged into the router is a3.

The MAC address listed on the STB/DVR units is the MAC address of the Ethernet interface. The one shown in the RG's interface on the HPNA page is the MAC address of the Coax interface, which is different.

In many cases, the MAC addresses are nearly the same, with only one digit being different, but not always. Sometimes the two MAC addresses are very different.

I am not youing any coax.  Cat 5 from outside of house to uverse router, then cat 5 to dvr and cat 5 to wap?  the only mac addy that are correct are like from my iphone.  all the boxes provided from att list a different mac addy from whats printed and whats checked into the router

Perhaps the ones listed on the STB units are the coax address then, while what is shown in the RG is the Ethernet address.

If you're not using any coax, then what is shown in the RG is the actual MAC address that's in use on the wire.
