Windows 10 includes the ability to edit the physical address (MAC) for your network adapters. Find out how to do it and why you would want to.
TeamViewer has a laundry list of other new features, including scripts to automate mouse/key presses, tabbed remote sessions on macOS, up to 60FPS connections, a simplified client interface, faster file transfers, Windows Phone support, and more. Dec 28, 2016 Re: Setting-up Wake-on-LAN via Public Address For WOL to work you only need the MAC address and - depending on your settings - the port which is port 9 by default. The other settings are specific to the app, as it can check if the computer is already on.
As we’ve explained in our article on how to find your MAC address, a MAC address serves as a permanent, physical identifier for any device that connects to a network. That includes your phone, your router, your computer, your printer, your Apple TV, anything that connects to your internet. If your computer has an Ethernet port and a WiFi adapter, you have two MAC addresses: one for Ethernet and one for wireless.
MAC addresses are useful for identifying devices on a network. For home users, you might use MAC filtering to restrict access to your WiFi network. The reason that a MAC address works better for these administrative tasks is that, unlike IP addresses, the MAC address doesn’t change.
Or at least it’s not supposed to.
The MAC address is “burned-in” to the physical device at the factory. But it’s fairly simple to change your MAC address by “spoofing” it as another MAC address.
Why would you want to do this?
MAC spoofing can be used maliciously to circumvent network controls, but it’s really only effective for blacklists—that is if someone specifically blocked your device from the network. For whitelists, you’d have to know the MAC address of a specific device you’re trying to spoof.
Changing your MAC address has legitimate uses as well. You can use it to test your own MAC filtering settings. Or you can use it to assign specific rules to a set of devices within a certain MAC address range.
At any rate, the fact that you’ve read this far means you probably have a vested interest in changing your MAC address. So, without further ado, here’s how to do it.
Edit Your Network Adapters MAC Address to Bypass Network Restrictions in Windows 10
Press Windows key + X on your keyboard then click Device Manager. Expand Network adapters, right-click your Ethernet or Wireless adapter then click Properties.
Select the Advanced tab. Within the Property box, scroll down then select Locally Administered Address then select the Value radio box; there you will see your adapters MAC address. To edit the address, click in the value box then clear its contents then enter a new address. A Mac address consists of six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Enter a new set without the hyphens, click OK then restart your computer.
Did it work? Let’s find out.
