sorry i don't quite understand

by default how often does it rotate? if i want it to rotate say, once an hour, what value would i replace 8*60 with?

Hey guys. I've been following this thread for about a week now. I received the wifi repeater in the mail Monday and finally had time to set it up last night. I have everything done except the mac address rotation. To be honest I have no idea how to activate a script or where to put it. I went into the setting on the wifi repeater to change the mac address but the only thing it would allow me to change was the ip address. I have my system set up so that. I have my primary wifi connection and the repeater is broadcasting the attwifi connection. If someone would mind telling me how to get the attwifi connection to automatically change mac addresses every 30 minutes or so from a list of mac addresses, that would be great. I bought the repeater because I thought it already had the settings in it to rotate mac addresses. I am still thankful that I am able to use it as a second wifi connection though, so that I could leave my primary connection secure. Maybe this picture will help. Thank you for any insight you have.

This is for routers with DD-WRT firmware, micro build is not supported yet
The v3.1 script is the main now!

This script also can be used with ASUS WL-5xx and RT-N1x custom firmware (not tested yet)

Insert script in Administration - Commands:

Code:

wget -O /tmp/nzone.sh http://duke-srg.dyndns.org/3ds/nzone/nzone.sh; chmod +x /tmp/nzone.sh; /tmp/nzone.sh

and push hit Apply Settings. This script will install

after having searched for almost 10 minutes i found that you don't insert this in administration commands but in administration shell !

Depends on the FW you use.

ok i'm on latest Micrologiciel: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/24/13) std
bought this router for 22€ : http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR841ND
i needed one in case of emergency or sush anyway

works like a charm for now but how do i check if mac change?

when i check in cron tab i see this : * * * * * root /tmp/nzone 49,BASE16,GBATEMP

Use inSSIDer:

indeed... a wifi checker
facepalm

thx theforce81

in fact i could check from ddwrt in wlan tab
looks like it doesn't change...

Keep in mind, that v3 script only changes MAC once per 480/number_of_MAC_in_list minutes to match the StreetPass cooldown timeout for a MAC. I.e. for BASE16 it will be every 30 minutes. You can't check MAC changed in Web GUI, just try

i'll wait so

That tab is highly unreliable! inSSider says it changes, which it clearly does for me, but DD-WRT does not. So, use inSSider!

i checked on wifi analyzer from my phone and it didn't change
same with inssider for android, i'll just wait 30 minutes

The 3.0 & 3.1 script's default setting is "/tmp/nzone 49,BASE16,GBATEMP". With this setting, the nzone.macs file will contain 40 MAC addresses (as of this post). Therefore, with 40 MACs in the list, your MAC will cycle every 12 minutes because 480/40 = 12.

i'll wait for someone to make a full tutorial with screenshots
i can manually change but can't find if script's working

Ok the windows 7 method works, but I cannot change the MAC.
So I'm having a bit of caveats. I have a few questions:
1. Would buying a wireless USB adapter (NOT router) fix the problem? If so, are TP link or D-link wireless adapters are compatible with MAC spoofing?
2. Can I use my own mac for streetpassing? As in, I give my MAC to a friend so that it can change to mine and streetpass?

Does anyone know how to configure Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector To be made into a Streetpass Relay?

See the windows XP method. First post.

The script is a batch file. You need to put it into like notepad in windows save it as (somename).bat then just run it like you would any other program in Windows. There's also a few things you need to download to make it work, plus you have to enter your own values for like IP and username so you really need to read through it. Also, do the firmware update http://sanoxy.com/product/wap-300/ Then you just change the MAC address under LAN interface (because they share a MAC) without any semicolons. You should be able to change it under the Internet setting with current firmware but I don't remember.

I've just been doing it manually because I've had issues getting the script to run but it's probably on my end. Basicaly my method has been take the final octet and pick one from the :00s, do it, then from the :10s, do it, then the :20s and so on up to :90s to get 10 passes. Works well and I rarely get a duplicate. Takes about 15 minutes.

1.) Looking into now, Just going with a certain brand won't solve the problem, brands use whatever chipset they feel like, and the chipset is what matters. You could look around wikidevi to find out chipset/adapter names, then google to see if anyone's posted on the net that they work with MAC changing or not. I'm currently waiting on an RTL8192CU but might also get an RTL8188CUS since there are tutorials for that as well. Those two have relatively cheap options but other than that I'm not sure. I CAN tell you that my atheros TL-WN822N V2 doesn't work, but their v3 is an RTL8192CU, though probably more expensive than adafruit's options.
RTL8188SU does work with mac changing in LINUX but if you do it on windows it won't connect to the internet, and hostapd on linux doesn't work with it.
and my alfa AWUS036NH doesn't want to get a changed mac, so though it might work with hostapd, I didn't bother... Speaking of, since it doesn't work and another user's reported that an RT3070 does work, I'm wondering if maybe the ones that connect directly to the computers USB port will work, while the ones that have a cord between them dont/won't... I'll have to see if my other atheros card works sometime.
2.) Yes. You can use any mac for streetpassing, as long as your SSID is set to attwifi or whichever NZone SSID you want to use for it, that your 3DS picks up.

Say I have a question. How long does it take to get your first streetpass? I just created my relay Station using a extra Linksys router. I know it's working because I have the Nintendo Zone signal flashing. I even dl the BestBuy Pumkin Pie item. Yet I have not gotten one streetpass yet. I'm also using one 2 3DS both in sleep mode, and so far not one green flash. Any ideas on what I have have done wrong.

It takes from 3O seconds to 2 minutes. Is your router flashed with DD-WRT or OpenWRT? If it's not then that's your problem. You have to change the wireless LAN (aka WAN) MAC specifically. The stock firmware will only let you change the wired LAN MAC which is why it's not working. Plus you only need to have 1 3DS on at a time. With 2 on, the first one passes the relay, then the second will just pull the first ones data right off when it passes, defeating the purpose.
