Slate AX cannot Clone Mac Mini

Routers
1

Hey everyone, happy holidays!

I’m having a problem with configuring my Slate AX (GL-AXT1800) to clone a Mac Mini on a residential network.

I’m at a location where I only have access to internet via a single ethernet cable that I'm trying to get my Slate AX to use.

  • The ethernet cable goes to a router that gates access to the internet

  • The router whitelists MAC addresses and it's whitelisted my Mac Mini, which has internet connection

  • I've tried setting up the Slate AX to clone the MAC address of the Mac Mini on the WAN port and plug the ethernet cable into the WAN port on the Slate AX

For some reason the router is blocking the Slate AX from connecting to the internet.

As soon as I plug the ethernet cable back into my Mac Mini the internet on it works.

How does the router know that the Mac Mini is connected instead of the Slate AX if the MAC address is cloned? It's an old model, there shouldn't be anything advanced on it.

What config could I have missed?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Could you share some information/screenshots so we can better understand the situation?

  1. What is the current firmware version of the AXT1800?
  2. After cloning the MAC address and connecting an Ethernet cable to the AXT1800's WAN port, what does the Admin Panel - Internet interface display?
