Roku mac address router
When your Roku reaches out to the Internet to let's say from it's wired connection in my above example your router sees that 10.0.0.2 is sending some data to. My experience with Roku has also been that it won't try to use both connections if they're available - it'll use whatever you set it up to use last. Maybe 10.0.0.2 on the wired connection, and 10.0.0.3 on the wireless (this is an example, the actual address could be totally different). If your Roku is connected to both wired and wireless, and your network uses 10.x.x.x addresses it could have 2 addresses on your home network - absolutely nothing wrong with that. Within your home network the addresses are usually something like 10.0.0.100 or 192.168.1.100 with the last number (the 100 in this case) being different for each connected device. It allows multiple devices to share one globally unique IP address. Your router then has its own set of IP addresses that it gives to devices on your home network - this is called NAT which stands for Network Address Translation. Each octet can have a value of anything from 1-255. It would look like 123.231.131.213 - four sets of 3 numbers called octets divided up by periods. The modem/router (could be 2 separate devices depending on your setup) would have one public IP address that is not used anywhere else in the world. Internet - Modem/Router (in your house) - home wireless/wired network. Most providers, though, only use one address for your entire residence. Maybe the provider is keying off the IP address? If your ISP is providing a different outgoing IP for wireless than it is for wired that could be an issue. When you activate them it saves that activation locally to storage on the Roku. Most Roku apps that I've used don't care if you're using a wired or wireless connection.

Those addresses are intentionally unique globally to every piece of networking equipment - even within the same device if it has multiple network interfaces. Wired and wireless are supposed to have different MAC addresses.
