To temporarily assign a new MAC Address, do the following:

  1. SSH into your device.

  2. Use vi to edit /etc/config/network file.

  3. In section section config interface wan, add option macaddr ww:xx:yy:zz where ww:xx:yy:zz is the new MAC Address you want to assign to your device.

  4. Now you can either reboot your device or execute /etc/init.d/network restart to set your device with the newly assigned MAC Address.

I changed as You write, but nothing changed. Maybe there is something more in settings?
