Which is the problem?

[SeCrEt_BoY]

I have a RT-AC87R and a Samsung Smart TV UA55F7500BRXXV
My problem is:
View attachment 3401 View attachment 3402
As you see: DHCP give my TV IP both Wired and Wireless. IS this bug with firmware or TV Bug?

I think it is just a GUI quirk. Notice that the IP is the same in both listings.

Are you experiencing any network problems?

Sometimes TV have slow connection! And "br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address" appeared in Systemlog. I have just use Wireless MAC Filter to block MAC of WIFI card. If "br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address" dont appear again >>> that is problem.

The pictures show two completely different MAC addresses; they are different devices, or at least two different network interfaces.

Is it your intent to connect your SmartTV via a wired connection or wireless? If wired, you should go into the TV's settings and turn off the wireless adapter if that's possible. If you only want to connect wirelessly, then unplug the network cable.

Assuming both of these NIC's are actually in the same TV, the real question is, as Nullity points out, whether being connected to both the wired and wireless adapters simultaneously is causing any network problems?

Also, why would you have to use a MAC filter to block out the wireless? Are you using any security on your router, or just running open? If you've got WPA-2 security enabled on whatever SSID is connecting to your TV, then you'd have to make a choice to actually connect to the TV (by inputting the proper password/keyphrase). The only way your TV could connect automatically to the router's SSID is if you're not running any security on the router, which is never advisable.

That's how the router handles it when it gets two adapters trying to connect with the same hostname....since the hostname has to be unique it disables one and shows the same ip address for both.
The TV should prevent this state....on my Vizio, the wireless is disabled as soon as you plug in the Ethernet.

Are you connecting your SmartTV via a wired connection? If so, and you don't want to, you should go into the TV's settings and turn off the wireless adapter if that's possible.

Can not turn of wireless adapter, just have option to change wired or wireless (It mean choose Wired >>> Wireless will be auto off) Sometime my network is slower than normal... Dont know if that problem caused that...

I'll ask again...are you running your router without any security encryption enabled? It would appear so, because if you can't turn off the wireless adapter in the TV, the only way it could be connecting without your intervention (giving it the password for the SSID so it can connect) is if you're running your router "open" and unencrypted.

Of course my wifi have security encryption enabled!!!

Then why are you intentionally connecting both the Ethernet and Wireless NIC's? Neither one can connect automatically. Both require your intervention to connect (plugging in the Ethernet cable, and giving the password to the wireless NIC).

Connect one or the other, and then you won't have the "problem".

Haiz... You dont understand... Default when you connect to wired > wireless will be disabled! Samsung smart TV just have option to switch between wired or wireless. Pick 1 and other will be dissabled!

If the switch is a little slow for some reason, it could be picking up a transient state. Try doing a manual refresh of the network map and see if it goes away.

 

[Nullity]

So, you are sure the TV is only connected by one method at a time?

If so, I stiil think it is a GUI quirk. Clients disconnected from LAN will sometimes stick in the GUI.

The "br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address" error is a separate issue.

Honestly, Secret Boy, I'm puzzled.

I understand that your TV switches states between NIC's, disabling one when the other is connected. But if you have wireless security enabled, the TV can't connect itself without you allowing it to do so. You had to have given the TV the wireless password, otherwise it couldn't connect.

Likewise, the Ethernet port just doesn't connect itself. You have to plug the Cat cable into it.

If you want to connect only wirelessly, then unplug the Ethernet cable.

Conversely, if you want to connect via Ethernet only, then change the SSID's password of your wireless, and the TV won't be able to connect again via it's wireless NIC unless you give it the new password.

Either way, problem solved. Just use one or the other, not both NIC's.

I dont use wifi on my TV so of course my TV dont remember Wifi Password to auto connect!

You had to have connected at least once to your wireless router, otherwise, you would not see the TV in the router's Network Map as a wireless client. A secured, encryped wireless just can't connect itself to a device. You must have connected the TV to the router at least once, otherwise, it would not ever show up in the Network Map, since it would not be connected.

Look again at the pics you posted. These are clearly two different NIC's connecting to the router, one wired and one wireless, and they both have different MAC addresses, so there's no doubt they are different NIC's.

I'm not suggesting you are "using" wireless. You may think you've turned it off (or that the TV is supposed to switch it off once you connect the Ethernet), but it's still connecting at the device level.

The reason for this is simple: Once you connect a device's wireless NIC to the encrypted wireless SSID (by giving it the password), the device will remember that password and will reconnect again without re-entering the SSID info.

The way to solve the "problem" is to reset either the router's wireless password so the TV can no longer connect wirelessly, or go into the TV's settings for the wireless connection and reset it so that it "forgets" the SSID's password and can no longer connect.

OK Let me try reset wifi password.

its and old GUI bug along with Wired tab saying more device connected it ( have 2 wired devices and it show 2 when you click the tab, the wired tab tells me there 5 there though ) then there actual is
