Network device in a MAC address restricted environment
Network device in a MAC address restricted environment
Hello everyone, I encountered a curious scenario. I reside in a student dorm with a MAC-filtered network. This setup requires me to submit each device's MAC address to the admin whenever I connect something new. I’d prefer not to repeat this often, especially since I frequently use different devices or fix things on others’ computers. I have some networking knowledge, but I’d like someone to verify if I’m on the correct track. I’m considering a budget router like the TP-LINK TL-WR841N, and I want to register its MAC once. Once that’s done, I can connect all my devices to this router. From what I understand, it would function as a single device on their network, creating a private LAN where DHCP works seamlessly for traffic between my devices and the internet. Does this sound feasible or is it just a misunderstanding?
