Rex | @Aaa it will only be noticed if the router isn't running something like OpenWRT with an impersonating web interface that visually matches the old web interface. For bonus points, it can e-mail the username and password entered. Then the old firmware can be reinstalled so that the brother's future firmware updates don't cause suspicion. | |

If you reset the router (and the ISP connection still works), the admin interface will also be accessible with default credentials. This means you can change SSID and the WiFi password back to the old values. He'll only notice when he tries to access the admin interface, which might not happen for weeks or months, as long as everything still works. | |

| Jul 22, 2018 at 16:35 | comment | added | Aaa | Whatever the OP does to bypass the MAC filter, his brother can - depending on his knowledge - implement new restrictions to disable internet access again. The only surefire way to get around the restrictions permanently is to seize control of the router. This will be noticed and have consequences. If your brother's in the wrong, there are less disruptive ways to handle this. If it were my router and you actively try to get around my MAC filter, I'd simply add a guest network for you, and give you the password of that one. Turn off the guest network and you're gone, no matter your MAC address. | |
