In client mode, the client station normally replaces the MAC addresses in data packets from the devices connected to it with its own MAC address. The access point at the other end of the connection only ever "sees" the MAC address of the client station, not the MAC address of the computer(s) connected to it.
In some installations it may be desirable for the MAC address of a computer to be transmitted to the access point and not the MAC address of the client station. The option Address adaptation prevents the MAC address from being replaced by the client station. Data packets are transferred with their original MAC addresses.
Note: Address adaptation only works when just one computer is connected to the client station.
