This guide will show you the process of turning off MAC address randomisation on both iOS and Android devices.
MAC Randomization creates a random MAC address when joining a Wi-Fi network for the first time or after “forgetting” and rejoining a Wi-Fi network. It Generates a new random MAC address after 24 hours of last connection.
If you have a long-term guest wireless code, MAC address randomisation will cause you device to be forgotten the next time you connect. To stop this, follow the below:
