  1. Changed my MAC address and now I am getting disconnected from my games


    I hope this is the right place to ask for help, if not, let me know.

    The title pretty much sums it all up, my mother issued a block on my MAC address from 11:30pm-7am, I of course wanted to use the internet even after 11:30 so I researched changing the MAC address on my computer and then changed it. And now, ever since I've done that, my server connection to games is lost, seemingly consistently once or twice a day. It so far has happened in Apex Legends, and Escape From Tarkov. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    :)

  2. Change Mac address

    The MAC address is like your devices ID ,so short of being able to change very core settings ,you're not gonna be able to do anything unless I'm mistaken.

    Maybe you don't need to change your MAC address, what is it you're trying to accomplish?

    Spoiler: I found this change mac w/o root I can't say whether or not this is an effective method it's just a method I found after searching this topic .
    I cant say whether or not it is "safe" or if the software required is free. use at your own risk.


    Change MAC Address of Android Devices without Root Access

    Go to Settings>About Phone>Select Status and then make a note of the current MAC Address of your Android device.
    Download the Android Terminal Emulator application from the Google Play Store. You can directly navigate to the Android Terminal Emulator Google Play Store download page by clicking here.
    Launch the above application on your Android device and then type “IP LINK SHOW”.
    Note the interface name of your Android device from the list.
    And then type in the command below,
    ip link set interfacename XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY
    Replace interfacename with the Interface Name of your network that you noted in Step 4 above and XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY with the MAC Address you wish to set.
    And that’s it. The MAC Address of your Android device will now be modified/changed.

  3. Windows 10 changing MAC Address and remove Machine GUID

    I need to change it because i've been banned from an online games for no reason and the admin advice me to do this step:
    1. Change MAC address with TMAC
    2. Change the hostname in regedit
    3. Removing random number in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\xxxx and last one
    4. Removing machine GUID in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography
    That's step i need to do, to get unbanned. But i afraid all of step above could harm my computer because of changing registry.

  4. Changed my MAC address and now I am getting disconnected from my games

    How to restore/revert back to original Mac address of my network adapter on windows?

    For any reason, I changed my MAC address from network adapter properties>config>Advanced>Network Address. and set a value. It changed immediately after auto disconnecting and reconnecting.

    After solving my problem, I've changed it back to 'Not Present' radio button selected. But the MAC address hasn't been reverted.

    I,

    • Restarted my PC. Nothing.
    • Unplugged the network cable, restarted the PC. Replugged. Nothing
    • Unplugged the network cable, changed my MAC again, then selected 'Not present' again, disabled-enabled network adapter, plugged the cable. No hope.

    Now I'm not seeing any way to change it back except entering original MAC address manually. Can you suggest me something?
