Is it possible to change the MAC address of any NIC on MT ?

if ( Ans. == Y ) how ?

Rafiq…

sorry, but only RTFM ((

interface → ethernet → edit {type here interface`s number} mac-address

to reset mac-address to default use “reset-mac” value…

Thank you very much :smiley:

Is this true for MikroTik 2.9.27?

5

no. you should upgrade

6

Is there a way to revert the wlan mac address to its actual original address once it has been changed? (without resetting the interface and losing connection)

7

you can’t change any configuration for wireless interfaces without losing connection

Normis,

Are we talking WLAN or Ethernet here? I was always under the impression that Ethernet MAC addresses are hard coded on the chips on the network cards??

ethernet MAC can be changed in software, as previously mentioned, it can be done in the Ethernet menu. However, if you move that card to another router, it will still have it’s original MAC, the change is only in OS level.
