does mac can be wifi mac changed in config wifi-iface or config wifi-device

Having two device MACs the same in the same network will not work. MAC addresses are supposed to be globally unique, and they must be at least locally unique. Thus every device has a "factory" MAC assigned by the manufacturer, and in most cases you should allow it to use that MAC.

An endpoint device like a phone will use one network setting for all APs it sees with the same SSID, even though the MACs are (necessarily) different.

lan mac can be changed that is not problem but wifi i cant nohow :frowning: i know mu android fone i deny to connect to wifi but pc some time is connected than disconecct but phone sam second disconecct

You need to upgrade.

Take that out. It doesn't increase security any, and it causes connection problems with some devices.

Hidden does have a legitimate use for internal network links where users won't ever connect, as it prevents those networks from cluttering the list of available wifi.

In the wifi-iface block which creates your AP (not wifi-device) add
option macaddr 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'.

This has also been in the GUI for a long time under Advanced Settings.

Its too many things about i youst cant know what i need to enter wifi mac change and why i cant type in ssh commands of mak24

just tell me what type next in ssh (what will be typeable) after vi /etc/config/wireles

You don't want to learn or any help, you want spoon feeding, mate. I'm shocked that you are a user since 2015, anyway, type this in your ssh shell:

echo -e "\noption macaddr '77:91:4c:43:2b:c9'\n" >> /etc/config/wireless

If I'm correct this will work as it looks like you only have one radio and one wifi-iface so inserting it as your very last line in the configuration file must be enough.

Good luck, mate, you'll need it if this fails. :wink:

And this is how your /ect/config/wireless should look after:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'platform/ath9k'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option legacy_rates '1'
        option txpower '24'
        option channel '10'
        option country 'CA'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'wifi1'
        option network 'lan'
        option hidden '1'
        option encryption 'psk+ccmp'
        option key 'wireless12'
option macaddr '77:91:4c:43:2b:c9'
