I have an old Netgear MR814v1 router. I am wondering what do I need to do in order to have the router act as a hub without a MAC address. Dont ask why I need it (college lol) but I need it so that the individual computer's mac address are broadcasted instead of the hub's. Any ideas?

Can't you cloak the ip addy of the main machine. That is what I do, and then run the crap for the security.

no.
You need to get a hub, what you have there is a switch. -
Blah in college I have a desktop and a notebook. Everyone is given a 1gb bandwidth limit per computer. If I connect both computers onto the internet with 2 sockets then I get 2gb. However with a router I only get 1 since it broadcasts 1 MAC address and thus only gets 1 IP. So i was wondering if I can let my computer's MAC through instead of the router's. So this is impossible?

1 Gigabit of bandwidth or 1 gigabyte?
Either way, man that sucks...But I'm not sure whether you can do it with a router, a switch will probably work...but then you'd only be able to connect one computer at a time... -
That is funny on how you think about it. I've never heard of two macs with one socket. A hub wouldn't work because it would be lost in dhcp. I'm thinking proxy, but I don't think that would work. So you have one socket? That sucks for ya man. I have unlimited bandwidth here.
