  1. MAC Address changed but now mobile hotpost not working


    So I had changed my MAC address and the internet works jsut fine. However when I try to set up a mobile hotspot from the wifi from which my phone could connect to it simply says, No internet connection, this is happening on all other devices which try to connect with it laptops,iphones etc. Does anyone know how to fix that with the mac address still changed and not the original one? I've scoured all over the internet for a solution but to no avail. So if you know how to make it work can you please provide a step by step instruciton to fix it?

    :)

  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.

    MAC Address changed but now mobile hotpost not working

    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?
