The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.

what if th government prohibits your ISP from initilizing your routers MAC address because its not one on an approved list?
So the FCC won’t let me be, or let me be me, so let me see…they try to shut down the internet on my pc, but it would be so empty without me!
Made me chuckle in these dark times. Cheers!
Then make it lie. Spoofing is a thing that sometimes works!
Routers are not modems.
Put your router behind the company issued modem and then VPN out.
Every broadband connection I’ve had looks at the mac address of whatever is behind the modem, the modem essentially passes it through.
No it doesn’t. Go learn about networking, the OSI model, and ARP tables if you believe that.
Be less of an asshole, it’s free. I’ve been sniffing packets from cable modems since the 90s. I even remember the mac address of my first network card - 00a0cc52cac7, because mediaone gave out persistent hostnames based on your mac address before they were bought by at&t. I once putty’d into my machine from Katmandu just because I could. Incidentally, when I called at&t support to find out if this would continue, their support rep had no idea what I was talking about, and after I mentioned mac addresses, he suggested I call apple.
It’s not being an asshole. It’s correcting misinformation. There is no tone on the internet so if you read someone as being an asshole it might be a you problem, not a them problem. Sniffing packets doesn’t mean you understand networking as evidenced by the fact you think the modem is broadcasting your computer’s MAC address.
Just go read up on networking and you’ll realize that wouldn’t make sense.
