Router MAC Change to Obtain New IP for Cable Modem

Using a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router to demonstrate changing the Router WAN MAC address to obtain a new WAN IP address via Cable Modem.

The priciple applies to all routers which support WAN MAC cloning. The general concept is NOT restricted to Linksys or this exact model. The BEFSR41 was chosen due to its simplicity for purposes of demonstration.

The exact menu location of the WAN MAC will vary from brand to brand and model to model. Aside from that, the method remains the same.

Where can I find a list of routers that support WAN MAC cloning?

@Promobyte87

I have never seen such a list. I have also never seen a router that does NOT support cloning the WAN MAC.

I suppose I should reshoot this and add some audio. It was created and posted to help a specific individual. I never thought it would get so many views. Apologies to all of you who have stumbled on this.

This is the same method I've used to bypass bans on game servers for a decade. Nice demo of this technique. But what I'm really looking for is an auto IP rotation tool. Something like a .bat that can do all that for me. I know their are versions of Linux that have this to keep you secure!!!
