Hi,

Whats the shell command to set the WLAN Mac Addresses please for 2.4 and 5Ghz Wlan? Thanks in advance!
 
You don't say what router you have or the firmware version. :rolleyes:

On my RT-AC68U I can set the 5GHz MAC addresses with:
Code:
# nvram set 1:macaddr=30:5A:3A:C7:8A:24
# nvram commit
# reboot
The same "trick" doesn't work for the 2.4GHz radio as the same MAC address is used for the WAN, LAN and 2.4GHz interfaces. To change those use:
Code:
# nvram set et0macaddr=30:5A:3A:C7:8A:20
# nvram commit
# reboot
YMMV
 
I'd be careful about changing the relationships of the MAC addresses...I'm not sure if there are code dependencies. LAN and 2.4GHz MACs are the same....5GHz MAC is LAN/2.4GHz MAC +4
