SNMP MIB query returns router MAC instead of host MAC

I have configured Router SNMP MIB query with the correct community string and router IP address, but it is not returning the correct MAC addresses. Instead, it's returning the MAC address for the router. I have verified that the router supports iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.at.atTable.atEntry using a MIB browser.

There are a couple of settings that may help with this:

1. In Options - General, ensure that Allow ARP outside current subnet is not checked:

2. In Options - Additional, move Router SNMP MIB query up in the list, so it would take priority over ARP requests:

That fixed the subnet scanning issue. Thank you.
