mac address

Does anyone know how I can find out the mac address of my xda IIs ? I have a dreytek wireless router at home which uses a mac based access control list. I've tried the addresses that appear in wireless LAN manager ( BSSID and MAC ) but no joy. The only way I can connect is to switch off the access list feature completely

Hi Jeff,
Switch off the Access control, and let the XDA IIs join the wireless network. Then go into Diagnostic Tools --> View DHCP assigned addresses, and you will get a list of MAC addresses, IP addresses and hosts on the network. Match your phone's name to the MAC address.
Then you can turn access control on again and input the phone's mac address into the "allowed" list.

Thanks for the reply. I've kind of done that as you can see from the DHCP table below
DHCP server: Running
Index IP Address MAC Address Leased Time HOST ID
1 192.168.1.1 00-50-7F-23-97-CC ROUTER IP
2 192.168.1.10 00-00-00-00-00-00 BAD IP
3 192.168.1.11 00-0D-61-4E-A7-F7 0:00:04.600 hubbo
4 192.168.1.12 00-09-2D-0E-49-61 9:24:34.170
(not sure about that BADIP line ! )
I would say my MAC is 00-09-2D-0E-49-61 but it's still not working.... odd.

Is there no way that you can tell the MAC address from the phone without connecting to a network.

Here is a freeware that will allow you to find your MAC with no connection. I used it on my PDA2K.

Install on your device. Just turn the wifi on and run the program and it will give you the MAC and additional device info. Don't have the PPC connected to the USB or it will identify that device.

Sorted thanks, whilst in PC World I scanned for a Wireless network, and found three, hehe! Once connected used that utility to get my MAC.
Many thanks!

Wifi Won't Connect To Static IP Address

Hi,
New Dash owner here, I tried searching for an answer, but did not have any success.
When I try to connect to a wireless access point at work with a static IP address it just shows connecting and never actually does. I can connect to other access points that use DHCP with no problem. I entered the IP address, subnet, default gateway, DNS servers and WEP encryption key that I use on my laptop. Am I missing something? I am using 3VOLUTION WM6.5.
Thanks

[Q] Unable to Connect to WiFi

Here is a head scratcher...
When changing the IP subnet from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.2.x (or any thing else for that matter) the HTC One M8 will not connect to the WiFi. It will only connect when the subnet is 192.168.1.x. All the other devices - even an iPhone - work without issue when moving them to the new subnet. Everything on my LAN uses a static IP address. I assign them all myself and write down what devices use what address.
Does anybody know how to fix this? The phone is 100% factory and it is not mine, so rooting is out of the question.

I am pretty sure you can do this in the advanced section of the wifi settings on the watch.

hi i can't find any option to set a static ip. Not on the watch and not on the dialog on the phone where i have to enter the password.
 @Joachim Winter have you tried it, cause i dont know how i should set it there?
Thanks

Something like this might work via adb assuming it's just like regular Android?

Can't find too much info on changing WiFi configuration with adb

Assigning a static IP address would be an issue on thew watch especially if you want to use the WiFi connectivity option on other networks.
But reserving an address on your router would be a better option, meaning DHCP would always assign the same IP address to your watches MAC address. It's usually under DHCP and Address Reservation in your router settings.

[Q] WiFi question

I am wondering if I can enter ssid and password manually. Because thinking of buying it.

Yes you can
Just select join other network from the wifi settings page and enter in the details
The only thing it doesn't support natively is static ip or vpn

So even the FireTV does not support itself a static IP it could be done alternatively with most router/DHCP servers by reserving the desired IP address for the FireTV MAC address.
