You can change/clone the MAC address of the WAN Ethernet Ports on Firewalla in router mode.
Most often this is used when an ISP locks service to a specific mac address or if you prefer not to use the real Firewalla mac address with your ISP.
When you are setting up your WAN connection you can over ride the mac address with any valid entry. You can also change this at any time.

I get the message "MAC Address of Ethernet Port 4 can not be changed" with my Firewalla Purple. It appears this issue is not just with the Gold.
This worked perfectly to remove a Calix fiber router from the ISP that was double-natting the network and could not be put in a bridge mode.
I just changed the port to the MTA mac and the fiber modem linked right up and gave a public IP.
Now the Calix router spy-box / report all URLs to the ISP / piece of junk is happily unplugged.
