  1. Need help changing my computers MAC address


    As you can see here, im in my network card trying to change the MAC address but i dont see the option 'Network address' in the list

    btw, im trying to change it because im trying to get a new IP address from Verizon Fios. I heard that changing my MAC will might trigger a new IP. (resetting the router and ONT alone didnt get me a new IP)

  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.

    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
