Windows 10: Mac Address Troubles

My Nat type changed from "Moderate" to "Open" when I changed my mac address in device manager, is that normal? (I checked my NAT type in both COD Cold War, and COD Warzone, same result)

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 for WP7 Devices

This is probably obvious, but if the SSID is NOT hidden you won't have any trouble reconnecting if MAC address filtering is still on once the phone's MAC is discovered and added to the list. At least, I haven't run into any trouble yet in that scenario

Mac Addresses

There is a physical address list is that the same as mac address?

Of course it says it is a HW address list
