Changing mac is actually easier than it seems. The breakdown is like this:
Log into router via web browser. ROUTER <---- clicky clicky for most of you
login/pw - admin admin or admin password or root root or <blank> admin (my favorite)
navigate to WAN MAC address (usually in admin tab, depends on make/model/firmware-version)
Change last 2 pairs - if MAC is 00:14:25:64:48:01 then just change the 48:01 part (can be digits or letters a-f, I like FA : DE 'cuz its a word)
Save settings
Reboot modem
If you aren't 192.168.1.1, try viewing the status of your connection in network settings. find out your local ethernet ip address. Your router is usually going to be the same IP as your ethernet IP but change the last digit to 0 or 1 and paste the entire address into your browser.
Use THIS LIST if you aren't admin admin
If you are still stuck and I have the time, you can invite me to hack my way into your system and walk you through it for your own education. Sometimes I charge the cost of a GOOD 6 pack. Sometimes I do it as a favor. And NEVER without permission from the owner of the router.
