Changing LAN MACs?

[smasher]

What are the options for changing the LAN MACs?

 

[ColinTaylor]

Can you explain a bit more about what you're trying to achieve?

Just want to set the wireless MACs to something other than defaults.

Go on the wan tab and change your mac to whatever you want, hit apply.

Can't be done. They're hard-coded now.

Change Wireless 2.4GHz & 5GHz MAC address

I am trying to change both mac address of 2.4 & 5GHz. I follow one of the method given here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/can-i-change-the-wlan-mac-address.20697/#post-149885 However this only change LAN mac address. Is there a way to change both radio mac address? Thanks

So, if I move from one home to another, and I don't want my wifi to be mapped between the old location and the new location, this firmware can't help me?

Snowden says don't use Wifi, I explain why

That only changes the WAN interface MAC.

No.

Seems like a security issue.

Seems like a security issue.

Tell it to Asus/Broadcom as that's part of their closed source components. Or use a different firmware, like FreshTomato (I don't know whether that has the same restriction).

If Merlin used to support this functionality, that seems like it's not an Asus/Broadcom issue.

All the wireless code was locked down a couple of years ago by Asus/Broadcom because of the changes imposed by the FCC. There's nothing Merlin can do about that.
