New Around Here
I got a new AC88u router yesterday. The first thing i did was install asus-merlin latest firmare. (384.17).
My internet provided will work only with a specific mac address. Before this router i had a AC68u router and the way i setup the access address is
I got this from the forum sometime back. This did not work for RT-AC88U. So i searched around and found that RT-AC88U did not have et0macaddr, so i tried this one.
After doing this, the updated MAC show in the UI. But rebooting the router sets it back to the original mac addess that came with the asus device. Basically my changes are reset to default after a reboot. Do you know the correct way to set the mac address?
By the way, i also tried to set the mac address in WAN setting. That does not work either.
Any suggestions?
