Did I understand it correctly, you would like to use one 803 as access point and another 803 as repeater with the same image? If so, thats exactly what I am doing and it works fine. It is enough to set different MAC addresses in the config file
Well, yes and no...:-)
Yes, I intend to have one AP and one repeater and I want both to be Easybox 803 models...and
No, it's not working properly in my case (though keeping to your config example as close as possible).
Everything works fine as long as the AP is an 803 model and the repeater an 802 one. Today I set up my second 803 model in addition to the former and it gives me the same results as with two 803s.
Here is the situation:
You can see the AP and two associated repeaters plus the laptop computer (the one that shows the IP number).
Everything looks fine, but connecting the laptop to the 803-repeater results in no internet connection. The log of that repeater comes with messages like that:
Sun Jul 27 15:05:02 2014 kern.warn kernel: [ 665.488000] br-lan: received packet on wlan0 with own address as source address
Sun Jul 27 15:05:06 2014 kern.warn kernel: [ 669.884000] br-lan: received packet on wlan0 with own address as source address
Sun Jul 27 15:13:43 2014 kern.warn kernel: [ 884.324000] br-lan: received packet on wlan0 with own address as source address
Sun Jul 27 15:13:58 2014 kern.warn kernel: [ 899.336000] br-lan: received packet on wlan0 with own address as source address
When I try to ping the AP I get this:
root@laptop:/home/user# ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

The webserver on 192.168.1.1 is unreachable, whereas the LAN-connected box X.X.X.3 and the repeater in the other room (X.X.X.2), the Easybox 802, reply the way they should.
Sure, I could simply stay with the 803/802 pair, but I'd rather have two 803s.
So what can I do?
