Windows 10: Connectivity with Wifi mac address in hidden network

Hi,I have a few questions in doubts I am encountering some issues since I have a totally new router and extended mesh. Initially telco man set dual bands with same username and password. Each time I on internet a strong hidden wifi detected. I get telco in again to see any problem. The man can't see any wrong assisted me to create separate bands. I still see the same issue. I choose to use 5ghtz and in order not to leave 2.4ghtz visible, I hide it. But the hidden wifi issue remain. Recently I bought a new PC and through the connectivity, I see separate lines of hidden networks with mac wifi a

Kick or Ban who is connected with my internet ?

You would have to do that on your Router's setup webpage. 1st step is to turn on WiFi encryption and password. 2nd step, if you feel you need to, is set up an access list of the physical MAC addresses for the network adapters of the computers you want to allow to connect. Any other network adapter not on that MAC filter list won't be able to connect. (but MAC addresses can be easily spoofed, if the third person knows which MAC addresses are allowed).

 

MAC address on Windows Phone 7 ?

How to find MAC address on WP7? Some Wifi networks use MAC address filtering and are hidden.

The only way is to connect to a router and see WP7 MAC and only if router allows to see a list of unregistered devices MAC addresses or have a log file.

Is there a way to get MAC address by just using the phone and not some third party device?

 

6300i : MAC address filtering & HIDDEN SSIDs

Hi

Has anyone had any experiences positive or negative using MAC filering and HIDDEN SSIDs?

I've had no problems connecting to visible SSIDs but am banging my head against the wall with a HIDDEN SSID. Bizarrely I don't even see in the network list for this particular Netgear router.

Some background - other devices connect OK - including PCs and other Nokia Wifi N series phones.

Other HIDDEN SSID networks are shown when I roam in other locations. Finding networks isn't my problem - its just this one router.... :-|

MAC filtering is on and the phone's MAC address is known to the router.

I've tried adding the router SSID and WPA key manually to the phone, but still no luck.

Has anyone had similar issues and uncovered any "gotchas" I should know about?

Thanks
