Still need help changing my mac address?

Perhaps we have a language barrier...or maybe you don't understand what BSSID means.

OH!!!!!

Again (this config comes from successfully testing on a My Net N750):

config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'    
	option ssid 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
	option device 'radio1'
	option mode 'sta'       
	option key 'xxxxxxxxxxx'                         
	option network 'wwan' 
	option encryption 'psk2'
	option macaddr '00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee'

This is the N750 connected to my other AP:

Bssid is like the beacon right? Or maybe related to the Mac address? I can still connect to everything???

No.

In basic terms...

A BSSID is the MAC of the AP you're connecting to. Most people do not need to set a BSSID.

I can't determine if some of your sentences are questions; or declarations.

EDIT: Nonetheless, I provided a known - working config, with photographic proof...

So what further issues are you experiencing?

BSSID is the required MAC of the access point. If you set BSSID you can only connect to that one access point. Most usages should leave BSSID unset. (The "connect" button in LuCI sets it, one of the reasons I don't like that button.)

Most access points don't care what the client's MAC is unless there is a portal system such as at hotels.

I'm just asking questions.

Can you tell me the commands to get into config then save please? I'm still new to all of this so...

opkg update
opkg install nano
nano /etc/config/wireless
wifi reload

I updated, but now i cant find the wifi tab in network?

Updated what?

This seems unrelated to changing MAC addressees, BTW.

(And since a week ago, we've been waiting for you to successfully change your WiFi MAC/BSSID, you never updated us on that.)

Updated the firmware. Mac address to be changed no where insight as i have no idea how to even use all of this, but am willing to learn

If you upgraded firmware (especially if between versions), you may need to reset to defaults.

K i reset to default. Now i am at the nano part where you edit the settings in ssh. All i need is the commands or input settings/syntax to edit my mac address for good

  • I posted that information above, twice
  • To be clear, the change only lasts as long as you set said configuration (above)

Isn't there a way to create a script, so it changes every boot?

Added it to wifi-device 'radio0' still nothing? and also wifi-iface. It changed the wifi-iface wlan1, but not the wlan0 main connected already to my hotspot wifi?

Are these questions; or statements? (the use of a question marks here are confusing)

Given I've provided exactly what to put (and exactly where to place it) twice, I assume you're insisting that you just wanted to try something else.

  • If this is the case, I hope it works for you.
  • If this is not the case, please fix your configs. If there's still a problem after doing so - then feel free to show them to us.

Can you clarify this?

This statement, along with the other post, leads me to believe you simply haven't changed the MAC yet. Otherwise, it makes me think you want to rotate your MAC on every boot - which would be a different topic.

Hi John.
Have you joined an internet network?
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/wireless

Wireless Overview

SCAN

Ok! Then, configure Network >> Interfaces for MAC changing
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/network

  1. Interfaces » LAN

Advanced Settings
Override MAC address
00:14:EE:EB:48:94
(mac by https://generate.plus/en/address/mac)
2. Interfaces » INTERNET
Advanced Settings
Override MAC address
00:14:EE:EB:48:94
3. Save & apply!!!

Then...Are you using Windows ?

  1. You can Download WinSCP from https://winscp.net/eng/download.php and install
  2. Start WinSCP.exe
  3. Click on New Site on the left, then enter , protocol SCP, your OpenWrt device IP address (192.168.1.1) on the right side into Host name , keep the default port 22 . In User name enter root , in Password , enter your root password (or leave blank, if you have not set a password yet)
  4. Click the Login at the bottom of the Window.
  5. Done. You now have an Explorer-like view of your OpenWrt filesystem.
  6. go /etc/config/wireless
  7. add this line to your "config wifi-iface 'wifinet1'"
    option macaddr '00:14:EE:EB:48:94'
  8. Save!!
  9. Reebot

Try this! :wink:

You did see above where this doesn't work, correct?

(As I recall, this only works if the wireless is in a network by itself.)

:white_check_mark:

Yes, this works.

(Now the OP has been given 2 sets of instructions from you; and one set doesn't work.) :man_facepalming:

There is no wifinet1?

english isnt my first language

It's all relevant isn't it? No rotation only change.
