Hi everyone,

 

I spent the past day trying to clone the mac address on my router but didn't succeed :(

 

What do you need to know: I used a wired connection | No one was wirelessly connected to the router | 

 

Here's are the steps I followed:

 

1) I went to the configuration page (Interface Setup > Internet). The encapsulation mode was automatically defined to "Bridge mode" 

 

2) I switched it o PPPoA/PPPoE to be able to see the "MAC Clone" field.

 

 

3) I typed my username and password that were given to me by my ISP in the appropriate fields.

4) I ticked the "Enable" box in order to enter the new mac address.

5) I pasted the original mac address and changed the before-last digit.

6) I clicked save.

 

 

Here's what happened after that:

 

1) I lost the connection to the internet.

2) The modem router's internet LED goes off.

 

What I did next:

 

1) I tried to play with so.me options and preferences to see if I can get the connection back => Fail

2) I reset the router and set it up again so I can know what is the exact encapsulation mode I'll find on the configuration page => PPPoA/PPPoE (Weird Uh!)

3) I rebooted the router to see if this configuration will be saved by the router or not => It switched to the "Bridge mode" 

4) Unplugged the RJ11 cable from the router and applied all these steps from the beginning => Same result

 

Here's the exact configuration I have:

 

I'll be very thankful if someone could help me with this.

Thank you.
