Changing WAN MAC help
 

Hello I've been trying to change the Wan Mac address according to stealth guide on my Verizon Fios Actiontec Router, but I cannot seem to find it. I do have a dynamic ip. The only thing I've been able to find is Mac cloning but I have not been able to find the 2 words Mac and cloning together anywhere.

PS: I can provide screen shots if they are needed.

give some details on the actiontec (model number) and any other equipment (routers) you may have connected to it.

This is the only router attached. The model number is MI424WR

1. Click MAC Cloning in the Advanced screen. The “MAC Cloning” screen
appears.
2. Enter the MAC address to be cloned in the “To Physical Address” text boxes.
3. Click Clone My MAC Address to capture the MAC address of the computer
currently accessing the FiOS Router’s GUI. The FiOS Router will now have the
new MAC address.

Step 2 is where you can put in any mac address you would like. Just make sure after you click clone my MAC address that it saves the one you just entered. Your equipment may need to be power cycled after that to obtain a new ip address.

Hope this helps,
KS

I just noticed that I typed up my first post wrong. What I'm trying to do is change the WAN MAC just like the Stealth guide says. If the steps above are for changing WAN MAC then my router keeps freezing when I finish step 4, and then I have to reset my router to factory default.
