College Broadband

I got my wireless router today and hooked everything up only to find out that our college does internet subscriptions through devices rather than internet outlet. The tech told me that if I wanted to use my router I'd have to pay an extra 36$ to register the box. WTF?!

I know there are ways to get around this... anyone help?

Just pay the freakin' $36. You'll spend more time trying to figure away around it than it's worth.

You'll make it up in a week with the free porn and music anyways like I have.

If the router has a MAC spoofing feature, and most of the newer ones do, you can spoof the MAC address of a machine that you already have registered.

I'm already paying 36 bucks for my comp... I think an extra 36 just to use a router is rediculous.

So how would I change the mac address of the router? It doesn't seem to have a way to alter it. It is a linksys wireless B router model number befw11s4 version 1.5

MAC address cloning. Last tab on the right in the advanced configuration page. Instructions on page 38 of the manual.
