Question

How do I Change MAC Address for "Wireless Network Conection"

May 22, 2017 4:59PM PDT

I need to change my MAC address. I've found tons of tutorials, but they all only tell how to change the MAC address for the Local Area Connection. This does me no good, though, when I want to access wireless networks. They check the Wireless Network Connection MAC, not the Local Area Connection physical address. I know this because I've changed the Local Area Connection MAC and confirmed with cmd that it is indeed changed. I also know for sure that the networks I am trying to access use the Wireless Network Connection MAC/physical address, for which I can find no tutorial for changing. Can I get any help?

Well a MAC address is

a unique ID for a piece of hardware. So your router will have a MAC address and you wireless adapter will have a MAC address. I recently recently swapped my internet providers Modem/Router with one I purchased. To get my modem/router to connect my ISP (Bright House now Spectrum) needed my MAC address to add it to their network before it could communicate with it. Devices also are identified my IP addresses on networks.

So the MAC address is the device not the network. You can add and block devices using MAC addresses and if you google "adding a mac address of a new device to a network with (name) router", The instructions may be different depending on the router you have so you replace name with the brand of router.
