We did check that, its not. Other than the MACs showing up in the wrong place, it works fine, Id never seen that before on a functioning device. Is there some magic new protocol out there that would need a MAC to show up there? I would assume the router WAN can see it to, and Id guess that would cause a little confusion for the device, but its not. Its quite possible that Belkin has resorted to sorcery.

You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason.
