This is at least for Archer C7 v2. The default bssids for the networks in my particular device are:
**:**:**:**:**:*D for the 2,4 GHz radio and
**:**:**:**:**:*C for the 5 GHz radio
In LEDE they result in
**:**:**:**:**:*C for the 2,4 GHz radio and
**:**:**:**:**:*B for the 5 GHz radio
The problem in LEDE is that the bssid set up for the 2,4 GHz is the one for 5 GHz and then the 5 GHz gets minus one. Don't know if it could be because the ethernet lan gets also **:**:**:**:**:*D and wlan1 can't have the same mac address as eth1. In the original firmware this seems to be possible, both ethernet lan and 2,4 GHz radio have the same mac/bssid.
Also, at least with the 2,4 GHz radio, when you set up another connection with the device as client, the bssid of the master one change *(+2):**:**:**:**:*C the second hex digit gets plus 2, the bssid that should get a second connection as ap, but in this case there is one ap one client connections. This one could be right and I have to test with another router to see if it happens because I didn't notice this before.
