Problem
I currently use a Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 network adapter, and I need to spoof the mac address in order to test security on my network.
The problem is that the latest driver for this adapter does not allow spoofing.
I also purchased a Netgear N300 Wireless USB Adapter to see if I could use that to change the mac address, but no luck so far.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how I can change my mac address?
Additional Info :
Windows 8 64 Bit
Dell XPS 15
8 GB Memory
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me!

MAC Spoofing Using Tools
1. Technitium MAC Address Changer
To change the Mac Address
Starting MAC address changer will list all available network adapters.
Select the adapter you want to change the MAC address. You will get the details of your selection below.
In the Information tab, find the Change MAC Address frame. Enter new MAC address in the field and click Change Now! button. You may even click Random MAC Address button to fill up a randomly selected MAC address from the vendor list available.
To restore the original MAC address of the network adapter, select the adapter, click Restore Original button in the Change MAC Address frame.
