Asus N66U Marking 2 phones (Same Model) as one phone resulting in no connection....

Well the title is self explanatory, i have a setup where i have 2 N66u's working in parallel and for some reason the main one is not allowing the phones to work on the network, anyone know of a fix?

So you have a n66u running as a router placed between 2 ip phones ?

A router needs a special feature that lets it intercept the call setup messages and dynamically put in nat mappings.

Its a dual router setup (One is in repeater mode i think, may have the wrong name) but i have 2 Huawei phones in the house and in the connected devices/clients list it is labelled as Huawei, one device.... and they both get no connection

So start simple and turn off the repeater mode device and see if you can get connections to the main router. I guess I thought you were doing something more complex. It appears all you are doing is trying to get a wifi connection on your cell phones.

This should be fairly trivial to get a connection. Not much to setup the SSID and the password and they connect.

If that works then you need to be really sure you have configured the second device correctly. I did not think it could run in repeater mode with the factory firmware. I think you must put the device in the approved list on the main router for it accept the WDS connection from the second. I forget its been a long time since I ran factory firmware, i load merlin on all my asus devices.
