I did not say that it was not unauthorized access, just that hacking (in the breaking into computer systems sense) involves actually breaking in.

Changing a MAC address (on a device that you own and control) does not constitute hacking. It is as simple as ifconfig(8) and if you have a consumer router it probably has an option in the web interface to do it.
