Hello, In Keenetic modem configuration, port forwarding requires selecting a Registered client, which is based on MAC address. When using a Keenetic Buddy Wi‑Fi extender, all devices behind its ethernet port appear with the same MAC address, so my virtual machines cannot be registered individually. I would like to: Register clients by IP address instead of MAC. Configure port forwarding rules directly to an IP address, not tied to a registered MAC client. Is this possible in Keenetic firmware, or is there any workaround for VM environments behind a Buddy extender where MAC addresses are duplicated? Thanks.
