Can the ISP know if you have cloned your PC Network Adapter MAC Address in your Router?

Since I live in a student residency, they do not allow to connect routers to the wall. So many of us have cloned the MAC Address of our pcs in order to make them think it is a PC connected to the wall.. but can they detect that it is a router connected to the wall even though the displayed MAC Address corresponds to the PC?

In a word, yes. If the IT department wants to they can deploy tools that will tell them that it isn't a single PC attached but a router with multiple machines connected. However, chances are they currently have better things to do.

Whether you use a router, Internet Connection Sharing on a PC, or just change the MAC addresses of all your devices to the same one and only use them one at a time, they are going to know something's up if you are downloading both WindowsUpdates and Android ones. After all, no one device will need both.
