-For example, on a router with LAN hardware MAC Address of 2C:30:33:DB:F7:CC, FreshTomato would now set the WAN MAC Address to 2C:30:33:DB:F7:DC, (by adding CC + 16). On releases 2021.7 and older, FreshTomato would have configured the default WAN MAC Address as 2C:30:33:DB:F7:DD (by adding DC + 1).+For example, on a router with LAN hardware MAC Address of 2C:30:33:DB:F7:CC, FreshTomato would now set the WAN MAC Address to 2C:30:33:DB:F7:DC, (by adding CC + 16).
