Hi, you need to understand that the MAC address is the unique station identifier contained in each WiFi packet. So when a station tries to change its MAC address, it appears to be a different station to the AccessPoint. That way WPA-keys derived are also bound to the station MAC address - otherwise the AP would just not choose to use them for a specific packet. Regards, M.
