mac address is a hardware code address placed by manufacturer of
your nic [network interface card] or router.

to have 2 mac addresses with sequential addressing means that you have
a dual purpose card/router. possible wired and wireless.

what is model of system? have you check oem site for a manual?

most oems will have information available in pdf format. model numbers
can be grouped as a series.
