Good morning

recently i hooked up an ESP12 in STA mode to a ADSL router .When i start ESPBASIC it gives me the following MAC ADRESS :
1A:FE:34:E5:13:C7

however when i scan the network using IPSCANNER the mac adress for the ESP is
18:FE:34:E5:13:C7

for what reason i did not get the same value ?

There is one MAC address for the access point mode, another for client mode.

If you read what the guy has written...

it seems obvious he isn't speaking about 2 different MAC addresses - he's reporting a discrepency in the second digit of the MAC address... most likely a bug as he points out, and one which many people would probably not even notice let alone mention.

I read somewhere, that AP and STA mode MAC addresses must be different. http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?t=601
Imho one bit difference should be good enough, but I am not a networking guru, mostly a rookie.
