   - When saving changes, the MAC addresses of all defined non-primary wireless VIFs could sometimes be (already) set but might be recreated by the wl driver (Broadcom's proprietary wireless LAN driver). Thus, previously defined/saved settings might need to be updated/changed accordingly in the Advanced/MAC Address menu after saving settings and rebooting your router.   - When saving changes, the MAC addresses of all defined non-primary wireless VIFs could sometimes be (already) set but might be recreated by the wl driver (Broadcom's proprietary wireless LAN driver).
