MAC mask problem with Node 2

Hi

I've just tested the Node 2 and I liked it except for one detail. It plays without problems over WiFi but only when I disable the MAC address mask in my WiFi router. Despite the fact that the Node2's MAC address was added to the list of enabled devices in the mask of the router the Node2 doesn't play until the mask is disabled. I would not like to risk the security of my network because of one device. My other network oriented devices have no problem with the mask. Can anyone recommend a solution or at least inform me that the problem can't be solved at the moment? I think I won't buy the Node2 until I know how to fix that issue.

Thanks a lot for any help

Cheers

  Hi Cezary,

  Bluesound players have two MAC addresses. One for wired and one for wireless.

  See this article to make sure you are using the wireless one for MAC filtering for the router:

  Hi and thanks. This seems helpful indeed. Although I do not have the device with me any more to test it. BTW, perhaps you might consider placing two stickers at the bottom of Node 2 — one for wired and one for wireless connection.

  Cheers
