Yes, it is. The ap repeating the signal connects on the first as a
client and then broadcast with the same mac address. That's is the
reason why the transfer rate is cut in half when using this kind of
repeater. If it was the case that the OP were in an edge case where he
was equidistant from both access points, it would connect to one of
them, then the signal detection would tell the other is with a stronger
signal, it connects to the other, and so on. But as he mentioned, it's
the same IP address with 2 different mac addresses. This is weird. And
most likely will keep giving him trouble, unless they fix it, or he
blocks one of them using vether and bridge (which I'm not really sure
would work).
