  1. DEACTIVATE PRIVATE MAC ADDRESS TO CONNECT TO HOTSPOT?


    Hello! I cannot connect to a hotspot after buying a hotspot ticket from a popular provider. At the beginning it works, but then my Windows 10 won't connect automatically, and I always have to call the phone support of the provider company to enable connection again. I've been told br provider's technicians to disable PRIVATE MAC ADDRESS on my device, otherwise the laptop will always avoid connecting to hotspot.Where do I find that in W10 settings?Please it's urgent! I need it for work....... I just moved out and this is my only option .....Thank you in advance!Nicole

    Mobile hotspot doesn’t work after changing MAC address

    I normally have no problem using the Mobile Hotspot feature built in Windows 10.

    However after changing my mac address using the software Technitium MAC Changer v6.0.7, i can no longer connect to the hotspot.

    I don’t get any errors on my windows machine when I turn on the hotspot, but I can’t connect to it. It works if I revert back to the original mac, just stops working when I change the mac.

    Anyone else have the same issue after changing your wifi mac address?

    Kick or Ban who is connected with my internet ?

    You would have to do that on your Router's setup webpage. 1st step is to turn on WiFi encryption and password. 2nd step, if you feel you need to, is set up an access list of the physical MAC addresses for the network adapters of the computers you want to allow to connect. Any other network adapter not on that MAC filter list won't be able to connect. (but MAC addresses can be easily spoofed, if the third person knows which MAC addresses are allowed).

    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.
