In the custom GL web interface, there is a “Clone MAC” option in the “Internet Settings”. However, when I change the MAC and hit “Apply” the device becomes unreachable until I reset it again. Is this a known bug?
I would like to use the device as wifi client and there are times when I would like to change the MAC to resolve problems. When I travel, it is not uncommon that things work again with a different MAC for some reason, so this feature would be VERY helpful for me.
I’ll check again tomorrow. I tried several, I tried some from two of my normal devices and some based on the device MAC and changed some random parts to test, e.g. if the mac ended with …:ee I chose …:e1 instead.
Maybe I should note that I was connected via Wifi to the GL-MT300N and it was connected to another Wifi router as client. I did not try if changing the mac works when using a wired WAN connection. Although I also tried when I was connected to the LAN port. I had a brief look into the logs and there was some error with the wifi-phy1.pid - I did not test more, because I always had to perform a reset to get the GL-MT300N back to access the internet and I tried it multiple times with different MACs. Can you give me an example MAC to test that you know is working for you? Did you test it for the wifi client mac (not wired)?
Thanks for report. I just tested, mac clone on wifi STATION mode is not working on MT300N. I am not sure if this is a software bug, driver or hardware limitations. I hope to find a solution.
@jogl, unfortunately we cannot solve this problem so quickly. This problem is not in any of our other models, only MT300N. I am pushing our engineers to solve this.
Does this mean that the MT300A and MT300N both do not support changing the mac address at all? That it is not technically possible? I had ordered a MT300A hoping it would support this feature.
