What is a MAC Address?

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique 12-character ID (like 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E) assigned to your computer’s network card (both Wi-Fi and Ethernet). Think of it as a permanent, physical serial number for your hardware, while your IP address is like your temporary mailing address on the network.

Why Would You Need to Change It?

• Privacy: On public Wi-Fi (like at an airport or café), networks can log your MAC address to track your device.
• Bypassing Restrictions: Some networks (like hotels or offices) limit access or time based on MAC addresses. Changing it can get you a fresh connection.
• Troubleshooting: Sometimes, new hardware conflicts with an old device on the network.

The Hard Way: How to Change MAC Address Manually

Windows has a built-in method, but it’s hidden, complicated, and doesn’t always work:

1. Go to Device Manager.
2. Find your Network Adapter (e.g., “Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6…”).
3. Right-click, go to Properties -> Advanced tab.
4. Find “Network Address” or “Locally Administered Address” in the list.
5. Manually type a new 12-character MAC address without any colons or dashes (e.g., 001A2B3C4D5E).
6. Restart your adapter and pray it works.

This is confusing, easy to mess up, and often resets itself after a reboot. There has to be an easier way.
