Fresh install of v24.10.0 on a Liksys EA8500, and the WAN port refuses to accept an ip address.
This was previously identified in this issue as occurring because WAN and LAN were being given the same MAC address. The fix that was implemented in the latest version was to increment the Wan's MAC address by 1.
Unfortunately, incrementing it by 1 made the WAN match the address given to the 2.4 GHz radio. So the WAN still wouldn't accept an ip address, as reported by rwl408 two days ago here.
My solution is to assign a completely different MAC address to the WAN, and everything works fine now
(in previous thread I thought a workaround involved changing bridge-ports, but I was incorrect. it seemed to work for a little while if i did that, but would revert after a reboot and stop working).
