Hi, I've tried several times to change theac address of my c64, but it just won't work. Anyone got an idea why.

Hi,

 

How have you determined that it isn't working? Does whatever you set under "Router MAC Address" automatically revert back to the default setting, like it doesn't save it?

 

I've tested this with the very same MAC address you show on your picture on my own Archer C64 and it works fine. If I connect the C64 as a client to another router, then it is shows up in the client list with the intended MAC address.

  @woozle May apologies, I forgot to mention WDS. But, yeah. The mac change doesn't apply to WDS for some reason.

When using WDS feature the router doesn't use its Internet (WAN) port and any MAC address change would be irrelevant in this case.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".
