No you shouldnt' have to. Only change the MAC if you connect through ethernet.

I use a netgear wireless router.As far as I known you cannot change the mac on your computer.All electronic equpment has it's own unique' mac address. I have three computers.All have their mac addresses entered into the router.That means that only computers with those mac addresses can access the modem.

I think

U aint really supposed 2 change the mac on any equipment but it is actually possible by usin SMAC (for example)
this prog cld b used if u were gonna keep urself safe by changing it b4 tryin out a new sniffed mac..
mac changing progs r used on the fly by some businesses 2 change nic macs on pcs that need updates 2 expensive programs that have a single user license+are only meant 2 b used on one pc, but if the mac is spoofed(changed) 2 the same one that the main program wos 1st put on, the program itself+any future updates can b put on virtually any amount of PC's.
