更改网卡的MAC^{(network card)}地址并不是^{(MAC address)}大多数用户必须做的事情。但是，一些用户可能需要欺骗他们的Windows 计算机的^{(Windows computer)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}以应对不同的问题或网络限制。为了在这种情况下为您提供帮助，我们将分享我们所知道的在 Windows中更改网卡^{(network card)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}的所有方法：

为什么要在Windows中更改MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}？

原因来自于网络管理中^{(network management)}MAC地址^{(MAC address)}的使用。MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}识别连接到网络的设备，并允许网络根据它来跟踪、限制或允许访问。

MAC 地址是什么样的

例如，如果您需要分配静态IP 地址^{(IP address)}，您的路由器会根据MA​​C 地址识别并给出静态IP^{(IP address)}地址^{(MAC address)}。当更改网络的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}规则困难或繁琐时，更改MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}会派上用场。再举一个例子，如果您更换了Windows 计算机^{(Windows computer)}，或者只更换了网卡^{(network card)}，并且您的ISP使用您的^(ISP)MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}限制了您对互联网的访问，那么很容易将MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}更改为旧的 MAC 地址并重新获得互联网访问权限，就像之前一样。改变。

当您可能想要更改MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}时，还有其他情况，例如当您连接到工作或学校^{(work or school)}的 Wi-Fi 网络时。如果您组织的网络管理员根据您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}限制 Internet 使用，您可以欺骗MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}以尝试绕过这些限制。

如果您需要或想知道您当前的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，在更改它之前，请检查这 7 种方法以在Windows上找到您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}。此外，如果您需要恢复原始MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，这里有六种方法可以做到。请记住，在Windows 11或Windows 10中更改^{(Windows 10)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}后，新的 MAC 地址只有在您重新启动网卡^{(network card)}（您可以禁用和启用它）或重新启动Windows 计算机^{(Windows computer)}后才会激活。

1. 如何使用设备管理器更改^{(Device Manager)}Windows 11和Windows 10中的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}

无论^(Regardless)您使用的是 Windows 11 还是Windows 10 ，请在您的计算机或设备^{(computer or device)}上打开设备管理^{(Device Manager)}器。在“设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}”窗口中，通过单击或点击其条目来展开网络适配器列表。^{(Network adapters)}然后，右键单击或按住要更改MAC 地址的^{(MAC address and select)}网卡^{(network card)}，然后在上下文菜单中选择“属性”。^(Properties)

6.如何在Windows 11中欺骗^{(Windows 11)}MAC地址^{(MAC address)}（随机化Wi-Fi MAC）

除了设置您选择和指定的静态MAC 地址外， ^{(MAC address)}Windows 11还允许您在每次连接到某个 Wi-Fi 网络以及您将连接的所有无线网络时随机化您的MAC 地址。^{(MAC address)}这可能是在Windows 11中欺骗您的^{(Windows 11)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}的最有效方法。

但是请注意，这只有在您的网卡驱动程序^{(network card driver)}支持MAC 随机化^{(MAC randomization)}时才有可能。如今，大多数网卡都支持随机硬件^{(random hardware)}地址，但也有一些新旧适配器不支持。如果您没有看到本文^{(article section)}或下一节中描述的设置，那么您可以做的最好的方法来欺骗您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}是使用第三方应用程序，就像我们在本教程第三章中讨论的那样。现在，事不宜迟，以下是如何在Windows 11中随机化您的^{(Windows 11)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}：

启动设置^(Settings)应用程序，在左侧边栏中^{(left sidebar)}选择网络和互联网^{(Network & internet)}，然后单击或点击^{(click or tap)}右侧的Wi-Fi。

^{(Access Wi-Fi)}在Windows 11的设置应用程序中访问 Wi-Fi

接下来，如果您想欺骗所有Wi-Fi网络的^(Wi-Fi)MAC地址，请启用位于窗口底部的名为“随机硬件地址^{(Random hardware addresses)}”的开关。

^(Spoof)通过启用随机硬件^{(Random hardware)}地址开关来欺骗您的MAC

如果您只想为特定Wi-Fi 网络伪造^{(Wi-Fi network)}MAC 地址，请在^{(MAC address)}“设置”^(Settings)应用的Wi-Fi页面上，单击或点击“管理已知网络^{(Manage known networks)}” 。

转到在Windows 11中^{(Windows 11)}管理^(Manage)已知网络

然后，通过单击或点击从列表中选择一个无线网络。^{(wireless network)}

选择一个 Wi-Fi 网络

在该Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}的页面上，找到随机硬件地址^{(Random hardware addresses)}设置，单击或点击^{(click or tap)}其右侧的下拉列表，然后选择您喜欢的选项：

• 关闭：^(Off:) 默认设置^{(default setting)}，您的电脑在连接到选定的Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}时使用原始MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}
• 开：^(On:)每次连接到选定的Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}时，通过随机分配 MAC 地址来欺骗您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}
• 每天更改：^{(Change daily:)}当您每天连接到所选的Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}时， Windows 11 会欺骗您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，即使您在一天中多次连接到它也是如此。

^(Spoof)通过打开随机硬件^{(Random hardware)}地址来欺骗您的MAC

请注意，此设置将在您下次连接到所选Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}时应用。如果您想立即执行此操作，您需要重新连接到您的Wi-Fi ，或者在您的 Windows 11计算机或设备^{(computer or device)}上禁用并重新启用Wi-Fi。

7.如何在Windows 10中欺骗^{(Windows 10)}MAC地址^{(MAC address)}（随机MAC）

就像在Windows 11中一样，Windows 10还允许您在连接到Wi-Fi网络时欺骗您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}。但是，这只有在您的网络适配器驱动程序^{(network adapter driver)}提供对MAC 随机化^{(MAC randomization)}的支持时才有可能。尽管当今大多数网卡都可以，但许多旧适配器以及一些较新的适配器都不会。如果您找不到下一段中描述的设置，则您的网络适配器^{(network adapter)}无法立即欺骗您的MAC。作为替代方案，您可能想尝试使用我们在本教程第三部分中介绍的第三方应用程序。现在让我们看看如何随机化你的MAC地址^{(MAC address)}Windows 10（如果您的驱动程序允许）：

如果您想在所有无线连接上欺骗您的MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，请打开“设置”^(Settings)应用。在其中，导航到网络和 Internet^{(Network & Internet )} ，然后在左侧栏中选择Wi-Fi 。在窗口的右侧，打开名为“使用随机硬件地址”的开关。^{(“Use random hardware addresses.”)}

^(Spoof)通过切换随机硬件^{(Random hardware)}地址来欺骗所有Wi-Fi的MAC

或者，如果您只想欺骗特定Wi-Fi 网络的^{(Wi-Fi network)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，请单击或点击管理已知网络^{(Manage known networks)}链接。

访问管理^(Manage)已知网络部分

在“管理已知网络^{(Manage known networks)}”页面上，选择要为其欺骗MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}的 Wi-Fi 连接。

打开所选Wi-Fi 网络的^{(Wi-Fi network)}属性^(Properties)

找到随机硬件地址^{(Random hardware addresses)}部分和名为“为此网络使用随机地址”的设置。^{(“Use random addresses for this network.”)}然后，单击或点击后者下方的下拉列表。

找到随机硬件^{(Random hardware)}地址设置

Windows 10 允许您选择三个选项之一来欺骗所选Wi-Fi 网络的^{(Wi-Fi network)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}。选择您喜欢的一个：

• 关闭：^(Off:)这是标准设置，当您连接到选定的Wi-Fi 网络时，这会使您的^{(Wi-Fi network)}计算机使用^{(computer use)}其原始MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}
• 开：^(On:)每次连接到选定的Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}时，通过设置一个随机的 MAC 地址来欺骗MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}
• 每天更改：^{(Change daily:)} Windows 10每天为所选Wi-Fi 网络欺骗^{(Wi-Fi network)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，因此它全天使用相同的随机MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}，但每天使用不同的 MAC 地址。

^(Spoof)通过在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}中启用随机硬件^{(Random hardware)}地址来欺骗您的MAC

请注意，此更改将在您下次连接到所选Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}时应用。如果您想立即在Windows 10中强制^{(Windows 10)}MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}欺骗，您需要断开连接并重新连接到Wi-Fi。

为什么要更改 MAC 地址？

更改或欺骗MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}不是常见的干预措施。MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}背后的安全性相对较差，因为如您所见，很容易将其更改为您想要的任何值。但请记住，您不能让两个具有相同MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}的设备在网络中同时处于活动状态。在结束本教程之前，请告诉我们您为什么要更改MAC 地址^{(MAC address)}。我们很想知道读者需要在哪些情况下执行此操作。在下方评论^(Comment)，让我们谈谈这个话题。

How to change or spoof the MAC address in Windows (7 ways)

Changing the MAC addreѕs of a network card is not ѕomething most users have to do. However, some users may need to spoof the MAC address of their Windows computer to cope wіth different problems or network restrictіons. Τo help you in ѕuch situations, we will share all the methods we knоw for changing the MAС addrеss of a network card in Windows:

Why change the MAC address in Windows?

The reasons derive from the use of the MAC address in network management. The MAC address identifies the device connected to a network and allows the network to track, restrict or allow access based on it.

What a MAC address looks like

For example, if you need to assign a static IP address, your router identifies and gives the static IP address based on the MAC address. Changing the MAC address comes in handy when it is difficult or cumbersome to change the MAC address rules for your network. As another example, if you change your Windows computer, or only the network card, and your ISP restricts your access to the internet using your MAC address, it’s easy to change the MAC address to the old one and regain internet access just like before the change.

There are other situations too when you might want to change your MAC address, like when you connect to a work or school Wi-Fi network. If your organization’s network administrator restricts internet usage based on your MAC address, you can spoof the MAC address to attempt bypassing those restrictions.

If you need or want to know your current MAC address, before changing it, check these 7 ways to find your MAC address on Windows. Also, if you need to restore the original MAC address, here are six methods to do it. Keep in mind that after you change the MAC address in Windows 11 or Windows 10, the new one becomes active only after you restart your network card (you can disable and enable it) or restart your Windows computer.

1. How to change the MAC address in Windows 11 and Windows 10 using Device Manager

Regardless of whether you use Windows 11 or Windows 10, open the Device Manager on your computer or device. In the Device Manager window, expand the list of Network adapters by clicking or tapping on their entry. Then, right-click or press and hold the network card for which you intend to change the MAC address and select Properties in the contextual menu.

Open the Properties of your network adapter

In the network adapter’s Properties window, head to the Advanced tab. In the Property list, select Network Address, and then type the new MAC address inside the Value field on the right side of the window. When finished, press the OK button.

Set a MAC address for your network adapter

Windows changes the MAC address immediately, but you’ll need to reboot your PC to start using it.

NOTE: If you can’t find the Network Address property, the driver of your network adapter doesn’t support this field out of the box. In that case, follow the third or fourth methods from this guide.

2. How to change your MAC address in Windows 11 or 10 from the Control Panel

You can also use the Control Panel to change the MAC address, both in Windows 11 and Windows 10. Open it and search for “network connections.” Then, click or tap the “View network connections” link from the search results list.

Search and open network connections in Control Panel

This brings up the Network Connections window. Locate the network connection for which you want to change the MAC address, right-click or press and hold on it, and select Properties in the contextual menu.

Open the Properties of your network connection

In the selected network connection’s Properties window, press the Configure button.

Click or tap Configure

In the Properties window of the network adapter, go to the Advanced tab. Locate and select Network Address in the Property list and type the new MAC address Value you want on the right side. Once you’re done, press the OK button.

Change the MAC address of a network adapter

The new MAC address value is stored in Windows, and after you reboot your PC, it’s ready to use.

NOTE: If you can’t find the Network Address property, it’s probably because your network card’s driver doesn’t support it out of the box. In that case, follow one of the next two methods in this tutorial.

3. How to change the MAC address in Windows using third-party software

We recommend using Technitium MAC Address Changer, a freeware utility that allows you to spoof the MAC address. Download, install and open this app. Then, in the Technitium MAC Address Changer window, select the network connection in the top list. Type the new MAC address in the Change MAC Address field and press the Change now button.

Change a MAC address using Technitium MAC Address Changer

NOTE: This app also allows you to spoof your MAC address by randomly generating new ones. To do that, click or tap the Random MAC Address button from the right side of the Change MAC Address field.

By default, Technitium MAC Address Changer instantly applies the new MAC address by automatically restarting your network connection. That means that you don’t need to reboot your PC to apply the change. However, you can modify this behavior by checking or unchecking the option called “Automatically restart network connection to apply changes.”

4. How to change the MAC address in Windows using the Registry Editor

Start the Registry Editor as administrator and use its address bar or its navigation panel on the left to get to this path:

Underneath this node, you should see the list of all the network interfaces found on your Windows PC. Browse through them and check the information displayed on the right panel to identify the one you need to change. The DriverDesc field is the most likely to help you pinpoint the right network card.

Locate the network connection node in Registry Editor

Right-click or press and hold on the network card node in the left panel, choose New, and select String Value in the contextual menu.

Add new string for a network adapter in Registry Editor

On the right panel, type in NetworkAddress as the name of the newly added string value. Then, double click or double-tap to edit the NetworkAddress.

Name the new value NetworkAddress

In the Edit String window, type in the new MAC address that you want to apply to your network card.

Enter a new MAC address in Registry Editor

Finally, press OK and restart your computer to start using the newly set MAC address.

5. How to change the MAC address in Windows 11 or Windows 10 from the command line

Once we’ve learned how to change MAC addresses from the Registry Editor, we can now speed up this change using the reg command in the command line with Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell. If you need to switch repeatedly between different MAC addresses on your Windows computer, you can store and run the command we describe in this section in a script file to speed up the procedure.

First, open the Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell as administrator, depending on which app you prefer to use.

Before you execute the command in the screenshot below, you need to replace two strings that we have underlined. The first string is associated with the network card that you want to change in Windows Registry. Review the previous section to find out how to get this number from the Registry Editor. The second string is the new MAC address that you want to assign to the network card.

How to change the MAC address from command line

Below you find the command in plain text, so you can simply copy and paste it. Don’t forget to edit and change the values that apply to your Windows computer and the specific network card for which you want to change the MAC address:

6. How to spoof MAC address in Windows 11 (randomize Wi-Fi MAC)

Besides setting a static MAC address that you choose and specify, Windows 11 also allows you to randomize your MAC address each time you connect to a certain Wi-Fi network, as well as to all the wireless networks you will connect. This is probably the most effective way to spoof your MAC address in Windows 11.

However, note that this is something that’s possible only if your network card driver supports MAC randomization. Most network cards these days offer support for random hardware addresses, but there are some adapters, old and new, that don’t. If you don’t see the settings described in this article section or the next, the best thing you can do to spoof your MAC address is to use a third-party app like the one we talked about in the third chapter of this tutorial. And now, without further ado, here’s how to randomize your MAC address in Windows 11:

Launch the Settings app, select Network & internet on the left sidebar, and click or tap on Wi-Fi on the right.

Access Wi-Fi in Windows 11's Settings app

Next, if you want to spoof your MAC addresses for all the Wi-Fi networks, enable the switch called Random hardware addresses found at the bottom of the window.

Spoof your MAC by enabling the Random hardware addresses switch

If you’d instead spoof the MAC address only for a specific Wi-Fi network, on the Wi-Fi page from the Settings app, click or tap on Manage known networks.

Go to Manage known networks in Windows 11

Then, choose a wireless network from the list by clicking or tapping on it.

Select a Wi-Fi network

On that Wi-Fi network’s page, locate the Random hardware addresses setting, click or tap on the drop-down list on its right side, and select the option you prefer:

• Off: default setting, your computer uses the original MAC address when connecting to the selected Wi-Fi network
• On: spoofs your MAC address by randomizing it each time you connect to the selected Wi-Fi network
• Change daily: Windows 11 spoofs your MAC address when you connect to the chosen Wi-Fi network on a daily basis, even if you connect to it multiple times during the day.

Spoof your MAC by turning on Random hardware addresses

Note that this setting applies the next time you connect to the selected Wi-Fi network. If you want to do that right now, you need to reconnect to your Wi-Fi or disable and re-enable Wi-Fi on your Windows 11 computer or device.

7. How to spoof MAC address in Windows 10 (randomize MAC)

Just like in Windows 11, Windows 10 also allows you to spoof your MAC address when connecting to Wi-Fi networks. However, this is possible only if your network adapter driver offers support for MAC randomization. Although most network cards today do, many older adapters, as well as some newer ones, don’t. If you can’t find the settings described in the next paragraphs, your network adapter can’t spoof your MAC out of the box. As an alternative, you might want to try using a third-party app like the one we presented in the third section of this tutorial. Now let’s see how to randomize your MAC address in Windows 10 if your drivers allow it:

If you want to spoof your MAC address on all the wireless connections, open the Settings app. In it, navigate to Network & Internet and select Wi-Fi on the left sidebar. On the right side of the window, turn on the switch called “Use random hardware addresses.”

Spoof your MAC for all Wi-Fi by toggling Random hardware addresses

Or, if you only want to spoof the MAC address for a particular Wi-Fi network, click or tap the Manage known networks link.

Access the Manage known networks section

On the Manage known networks page, select the Wi-Fi connection for which you want to spoof the MAC address.

Open the Properties of the selected Wi-Fi network

Locate the Random hardware addresses section and the setting named “Use random addresses for this network.” Then, click or tap the drop-down list under the latter.

Locate the Random hardware addresses settings

Windows 10 lets you choose one of three options to spoof your MAC address for the selected Wi-Fi network. Select the one you prefer:

• Off: it’s the standard setting, which makes your computer use its original MAC address when you connect to the selected Wi-Fi network
• On: spoofs the MAC address by setting a random one each time you connect to the selected Wi-Fi network
• Change daily: Windows 10 spoofs the MAC address daily for the chosen Wi-Fi network, so it uses the same random MAC address throughout the day but different ones every day.

Spoof your MAC by enabling Random hardware addresses in Windows 10

Note that this change applies the next time you connect to the chosen Wi-Fi network. If you want to force the MAC address spoofing in Windows 10 right now, you need to disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.

Why did you change the MAC address?

Changing or spoofing the MAC address is not a common intervention. The security behind the MAC address is relatively poor because, as you’ve seen, it is easy to change it to any value you want. Keep in mind, though, that you cannot have two devices with the same MAC address active at the same time in a network. Before closing this tutorial, tell us why you want to change your MAC address. We are curious to know the situations in which our readers need to perform this operation. Comment below, and let’s talk about this subject.
