Because there is a lot of old, obsolete versions in use out there.

Almost every NIC in use over the last probably 5-10 years are able to do this (temporarily) through the driver. I haven't encountered a single NIC that couldn't do this. On Linux it's simply (as root): ifconfig <nic> hw ether <new mac> On Windows there are various utilities.

Hidden SSID and MAC filtering are useless security mechanisms. With hidden SSID, the SSID is hidden in beacons, but still disclosed in probes and association requests and responses, so it is easy for anyone watching the traffic to get it. As for MAC filtering it's easy to just watch all...

I guess it is because IPSEC is often a pain to get working. It did not work well with NAT until the NAT-T standard emerged since it requires IP protocol 50 to be passed between the gateways. Second, it's often hard to set up due to very basic tools and a complicated protocol (getting two...

I think this is possible, but I have not tested it. I guess that dnsmasq will have a seperate line for handing out IP addresses for the guest network, and it will look something like this (just an example): dhcp-range=guest,192.168.0.100,192.168.0.200,255.255.255.0,86400s Note the tag...

It is really difficult to apply QoS on downstream traffic. If you set a lower limit in your router than what you ISP allows, then when packets are coming in too fast, the only thing you can do is to drop packets. Now, your ISP usually has large buffers because fast, stable large transfers are...
