Hint 1: do not use same mac-address, the other settings can be perfectly idenitcal except for IP address.

Hint 2: Do not use omnidirectional antennas for PtP or PtMP

You can bind the client for MORE THAN ONLY ONE MAC address!

If you use the same MAC address, the AP experiment some fake SWR, and on the clients disrupt the link with AP.

You can use the same MAC, if you are sure that the various AP absolutly do not receive other AP, also the clients.
