Changed MAC on router, but doesn't update in Windows

[trenth]

Hello, I changed the MAC on my R1 router under Network Settings -> WAN -> Network -> Mac Address Cloning

I clicked save, and when I go to check it under windows using ARP -A command. The original MAC is still showing.

I've also tried rebooting the router by pulling the cord, and by using the interface.

Are you on DumaOS now or are you still on the original pre DumaOS firmware? 

It's the WAN port MAC address so this would not be reflected on your PC, you'll be seeing the LAN MAC address of the router. If you check the ISP modem/router the R1 is connected to you should see the changed MAC address.

I'm on V3.0.207

I am using WIFI to connect to the R1. So what/where do I need to go to change the WAN/LAN mac address?

If you want to change the WAN MAC address what you did is correct, this will reflect on the ISP modem/router. You can't change the MAC address of the router for LAN though. What's the use case? Maybe I can provide an alternate suggestion.

I'm HWID banned on Apex Legends. And EAC will ban your entire ARP table. So if i'm able to spoof the mac of my router, it helps.

Ahh I see, it's not possible to change the LAN MAC and getting around a ban isn't something we would help with either
