      I'm probably just missing something here but I can't seem to find the where to assign a MAC address to the WAN port. I can do it through the setup wizard, but from WAN config page.

      Thanks.

        If your WAN connection is PPPoE you have to state the MAC in the parents interface settings. A PPPoE takes over the MAC from the parent interface.

          Thanks for you quick response and I appreciate your effort, however, the answer proved unhelpful. I don't know what the parent interface is or how to configure it properly. I can't find anywhere in the GUI to specify a MAC address for anything except through the setup wizard. I guess I'll just do that and reset to defaults if I have to.

            Find out the parent in Status > Interfaces.
            Then go to Interfaces > Assignments, edit it and state the MAC.
