Default Why TP-Link Archer C5 router can't restablish without maccloning

Like many other routers, MAC cloning is necessary. You don't have ways
to set up MAC cloning in your router's firmware? If you don't want to
then did you try ipconfig command with proper switches?


Is that the reason?
Mac cloning is *required* for TP-Link routers?
If so, they should say it on the box, 'cuz I wouldn't have bought it.

My Netgear WNDR3400 router and my linksys WRT54G router *never* needed
mac cloning.

Why does only TP-Link *require* mac cloning to work?
I don't understand why it would need that just to work properly?
