Before we start with this really HQ tutorial I want to say a few things.
Content:
1. Why?
Why should you want to change your MAC address? Simple, to be more anonymous. A MAC Adress is a unique string which is only for your network adapter. So, if you want to hack a network you are required to send packages where your MAC address is included. This is of course easy to trace, this is basically why you should want to change your MAC address.
2. How to know your current MAC address.
To get to know your current MAC address is really easy, and can be done with some easy steps.

3. Change the MAC address.
Now that we have our current MAC address, it is time to change it.
4. F.A.Q.
Q: After I followed your tutorial my internet doesn't work anymore!
A: The main reason for this is that you probably have MAC address protection enabled on your router. Look if you can disable it, it might solve the problem.
Q: I want to get back to my main address. How do I do that?
A: Follow the steps 1 - 5 and click on "not present".

Have fun with your new MAC address, tell me if it works for you!! Again, I did not make this. I only translated it! All credits go to the official author.
- I do not know if this works.
- I found this on another forum, and I'm basically reposting it but then in English.
- I'm bored so dont blame me.
