[Q] Change WiFi MAC Address - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have tried several ways of changing my wifi hardware address but always with the same results: I can't connect to my AP if I've changed the MAC. I'm using Franco Kernel and stock 4.2.2 ROM (rooted).
Anybody got it?
Thank you.

Does your AP has MAC filtering enabled? Might want to go in and check if this is enabled on your router.
Or, you can use aircrack tool, airodump, to check which MAC addresses are already connected to your AP, and use on of these (I hope this is for your own AP....and you are not stealing wireless from your neighbor )

Change WLAN MAC adddress

Hi,
Where I work I've access to the WLAN with my LPT. The WLAN is configured with MAC address access list.
Is it possible to change the MAC Address of my P3600 to access the WLAN?
Thanks

No absolutely not possible. You should let your mac adress added to the network.
hello, i don't see the MAC address in settings and the wi-fi doesn't turn on now.
What can i do?????
Help!
and, as i enter in bootloader, after USB i read in Red: WLAN ERROR.
what can i do??
Even if it were possible to change the MAC address, which can be done for your laptop, your employer obviously has a reason for not having the WiFi open to all who have the WEP/WPA key and circumventing this may well not be looked on favourably. Best suggestion is to register your PDA with the IT department so it works without hacking anything
yah
I do agree with deedee
Did someone find the solution to restore WLAN EEPROM?

I have flashed WM6.5 ROM, then decided to return to native WM5.0 ROM. In bootloader there was the same error.

maybe it's the change my address?
Hmm, dont now.. I flash new kernel, same 2.3.5 droid, and have connection to wi fi without any glitch..
Maybe you should try a soft reset?
You need to get the new mac address of your phone first. Go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Wi-Fi Settings->[Menu] Advanced -> MAC Address.
Next you need to go into your wifi router's settings and add the mac address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to the router. This is different for every router unfortunately, so I cannot help you with that.
You can modify to full permissions of wpa_supplicant in /system/bin use root explorer.
but after reboot you must do it again.

I suspect, this might be the unsupported setting on your router. Even I had a same problem, when I had updated my nexus s to 2.3.6. Try the below options
1. Try connect your phone to different wifi router / ADSL model. router / ADSL should be different vender from yours. if it connects then you need to change your router settings.
2. if the above option is not worked, then try with different router from any of your other friends.
3. or worth to try the below one as this option will not required other router, this will start work, if the problem is relay with router .
Try changing your router wifi setting as below
a. update Wireless channel to 4
b. Go to Security and select the below options
Security Mode as “WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
Authentication as WPA-PSK
Encryption Technique as TKIP ( it is default )
Pre-Shared Key (PSK) — ” as your Secure password
c. Reset the router & try connect your phone to wifi.

Please try to reboot your router. If it not works, try to change a DNS server(I recommend Google Public DNS, IP address: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4, yes, they are real IP).

Thx, I just changed my router and now its really ok.
Problem with network.
After stock update to ICS 4.0.4, my Nexus S doesn't recognize my operator (Tim Brasil), so I don't have any signal.
The others operators are rightly displayed. Just mine is missing.
I'm outside US.
Any ideas?

[Q] MAC address change after flash

Hi all,
*
To my work, I can access to the WIFI by giving my MAC address. I gave my MAC address, and ok, I had access.
However, I flashed the rom CloudyG3 and following this, no access to WIFI... I've realized that my MAC address had changed (and I saw I 'wasn't alone in this case) ... So I did a new request for an access with the new MAC address, and it doesn't work ...
*
I used the application Wireless mac address change to replace the current MAC address with my old address and I regain access to the corporate network ...
*
So is there anyone could help me to find my old MAC address? I tried to reflash my phone, it does not change ... I tried to pass on the Rom OptimusG3, the MAC address remains on the new ...
*
Thank you in advance for your help
Mine does the same thing and I cannot get a answer on how to fix the wifi mac address change.
Flash with my Nandroid backup... unsuccessfully...
