      Hello guys,

      Does anyone know whats is happening here? The problem is that WAN2 takes the same IP as WAN. I tried to release it and renew it, but it takes the same IP address again. Also what can be seen in the ARP table, it has a second WAN record that has taken the MAC address of WAN2. Does anyone know what is going on and what the problem might be?

        The problem is that WAN2 takes the same IP as WAN.

        From what we can see, it's rather a device connected to WAN.

        Also what can be seen in the ARP table, it has a second WAN record that has taken the MAC address of WAN2.

        Yeah, seems another device use same MAC or more likely your WAN2 gets the IP from WAN due to some misconfiguration.

        Does anyone know what is going on and what the problem might be?

        Without some information, which DHCP server is running there and how your WANs are connected to other devices, it's hard to say, what's wrong there.
