BV9900Pro problem with changing macaddress of WIFI card

Tue Mar 02, 2021 12:56 pm

Hello.

Mac Address of WIFI card in my smartfone changes every time I connect to ap . I get a new IP from my router every time. Can anything be done to make the mac address permanent?

Select the device MAC address when connecting the WIFI.

When you connect it, select the MAC option.

Hej you have to go in DHCP settings at your router and make static address with your Mac adress

I have the same problem. It depends on two wlan devices wlan0 and wlan1, wlan0 is always changing its MAC address whereas wlan1 is the static MAC address also shown in the SETTINGS -> SYSTEM INFO menu. The problem is that the dhcp-request is sending the wlan0 MAC address and not the wlan1 MAC address. So the question is, how to change the dhcp-request to the wlan1 device ? This is IMHO only a configuration problem, but has to be done in the BV Android OS

Hello, what is your main problem? I can't totally understand what do you want to express

I also have a problem with the wifi mac address.
Somehow the phone is changing it's wifi mac address. Most of the time it is connecting with its "real" mac address but sometimes it is using other mac adresses.

When linking to WiFi, go to Select Password and click on Advanced, change WiFi in Privacy to the MAC of the device

Unfortunately this is an ANDROID thing, which they find helps preventing your security. You can not switch it off, the only thing that helps is to check the box of 'use system mac-adress" every single time you connect to a new wifi-network. It's a very annoying feature, the router cannot change that. 
I had the same problem, all the addresses were used and this was the only solution.
