Dual band router support MAC clone in WISP mode

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

Dear All

I am new here, after long searching and buying 2 Router (Totolink X5000R and Tenda AC6)
i still cannot find the right hardware router who met with my needed, in which i need to setup on my site location.

what i need is support 5Ghz Wifi and Can change Mac Address on WISP mode

Please anyone can recommend for me ?

Changing (overriding) the wifi MAC should be possible on any device running OpenWrt. The X5000R can run OpenWrt, the AC6 does not.

could you please tell me how do that ? i have buy x5000r, once i upgraded to openwrt, it changes but in my modem still read the default mac address from router, not the changing one, also 5ghz seems not working

In the file located at /etc/config/wireless you have to add the line option macaddr '00:00:00:00:00:00' inside the corresponding config wifi-iface section.
