Technicaly, the AB does not "Pass" MAC addresses. It can preform NAT (Network Address Translation) on 64 MACs. The MAC table keeps the number for 10-15 minutes before it expires and is cleared from the table. If a MAC address gets moved from a direct connection to the AB to behind a router, the AB will still think it is directly attached to it and the computer may not work untill the table is cleared or the unit is reset. Early versions of the AB were transparent and actually passed one MAC address from behind it.

If that's not correct, what is the correct max number with 1.07 firmware.
