Hi ,I am using Archer vr 400 tp-link.
If i change the mac id of the router,it shows message that there is no connection in modem even if there is connection because i can see gateway and ip assigned. I did factory reset but again if i make changes same issue.
Something to do with Plus net dns or static ip.
2) I cannot change dns servers to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 . It breaks the connection.
How do i get it resolved. I had my static ip changed on saturday since the static ip was causing issues by not opening websites other than google and main ones..
Any suggestion?m
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Even with a fixed IP address you have to set your hub up to assign it automatically else it will not pick up the correct gateway. Just return the settings to how they were and all should be well and your IP address will be fixed.

Why are you changing the Mac ID ?
Take @Baldrick1 advice, reset the modem and start again.....

Reseting the modem helps and it will work but i am not sure why my connection is linked to Macid...
I can change modem which doesnt affect but if i change mac id it breaks the connection.Macid of modem is not defined by me right.. So any macid should work...
More over changing dns also breaks the connection. Plusnet modem doesnt have any option to change dns for all devices in one go... So cant check it from it....

I assume your Mac ID refers to the modem MAC address.
So I’ll try again. Why are you changing the Mac ID ?

I'm totally confused. I thought that the MAC address was like a serial number and was hard coded into devices.

@Baldrick1 A complex subject but a Google search for “mac address spoofing” may be helpful....

Thanks, that's most informative.
So I guess that having addressed the connection issue, if it existed, this thread is now all about setting up MAC address spoofing on an Archer modem/router. Hence now nothing to do with fixed IP addresses.

If the IP address is profiled somewhere and it’s causing you a problem can’t you ask support for a different one ?
Failing that you could drop back to a dynamic address and then apply for a new fixed address...

I think it is to do with the setting for VDSL
It was Auto Sync up
Anexe A/L automatically.
I changed it to VDSL Annexe A and looks like everything is resolved.SOmething to do with autoconfiguration ....
And for all who think spoofing is not to be used... check the number of attachs on your modem... People are scanning to use the modem for attacking others.. I got lot of attacks from some modem called Mikrotek and thats when i wanted to check if this can be done and replacinign dns with ad blocking dns will help to reduce ads by a bit

Attacks on your network are a fact of life these days. Attackers are not bothered about Mac addresses, they just find your IP address and look for open ports. Pleased to see you’ve sorted your problem.
