Is MAC address of a network the LAN or WAN address

There's an open network w/SSID linksys in Berkeley CA. LAN MAC is 00-06-25-A4-D9-DC, WAN MAC is 00-06-25-A4-D9-DD. If I run a query on the LAN Mac, I get a hit, with the location in San Francisco. A query on the WAN Mac turns up nothing.

Which MAC address is the one normally entered into the database?

If it's the LAN MAC, I'm presuming that the owner of this router has simply moved to SF since it was previously mapped. Am I interpreting this correctly? Can I update it, or does the original owner need to?

Thanks

Accessing an "open" network and especially logging into the AP without permission is illegal. If I were you I wouldn't talk about it in a public forum where law enforcement may (and probably do) read.
