Weird mac address issue

Forum Wireless Networking : Setup, Configuration & Security Weird mac address issue

Hello,
I am using a linksys e2000 as my router. I also have serveral wireless ip cameras. One camera has bad wifi so i am using a tplink tl-wr700n mini router to connect to the one camera. I have it set in client mode. So the tplink receives the signal from my router and then sends it WIRED to my camera. It works but i am having a strange problem. When I scan the mac addresses on my network I get the same mac address for the tplink and the camera - specifically the tpling mac address shows up twice...the cameras are nowhere to be found. This presents a problem when trying to reserve a local static ip for the camera.... any suggestions? Thanks in advance

The MAC address of the TPLink over-rides the MAC address of the camera in wireless mode.
