| Nov 5, 2021 at 14:56 | comment | added | Markus Kuhn | Ah, on some home routers, there is a level-2 bridge connection between the LAN and WLAN, and in that case, routers may indeed hand two different IPv4 addresses on the same subnet to the same computer, because it appears with two different MACs on the same bridged network, and is therefore seen by the DHCP server as two different computers. So the solution is then presumably to either allocate the same IP address to both MACs of the same computer, or to remove the bridge and have LAN and WLAN separate subnets (and broadcast domains)? The latter may cause devices not finding each other, though. | |
