EAP on GL-MT3000 using clone Mac Address

Context
I've purchased a GL-MT3000, and I use a sports hall that uses EAP, I know that GL-MT3000 doesn't support EAP (I've brought the GL-AXT1800 last night as a back up).

I saw a firmware 4.6 beta that supports it but never made it into the main build.

Question:
Can I use clone mac address as a work around? I tried on my iPhone yesterday but it failed to work. I tried to copy / paste the Mac address into the MT3000 Mac address Clone manually but it wouldn't accept that Mac address (certificate issue?) as the button remained greyed out.

Or should I quit and use the new GL-AXT1800?

MAC cloning won't help, EAP is mostly based on certificates or credentials.
