i never imagined it would b so simple.

Turn your WiFi on
Go into your WLAN Settings
Go into Connection Status
Your mac will be listed in there
It is also possible to change the MAC address if that is something you should want to do to remain "anonymous" while on a public network.
Hi h4waii,
could you please post instructions how-to change the MAC address?
Thanks.
Thanks for jockyw2001.
After flashing SPL, you connect using MTTY and issue 'emapiWlanMac XX XX XX XX XX XX' to the boot loader, replacing XX with your desired MAC address in hexademical. This change will remain permanent through ROM, Radio or SPL changes. I wouldn't recommend doing it too many times, I've confirmed it works already and made changes.
I've read other thread about changin MAC address via ADB or Terminal Emulator with the command
`busybox ip link set eth0 address nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn`
This appears to change it temporarily on my rooted SGS, but after I try and connect to the wifi, it gets switched back to the hardware MAC.
Reason I'm attempting this is because my building wifi only allows me to connect 1 computer. They have the wifi un-locked by restricted to MAC addresses. So I want the ability for my phone and my laptop to have the same MAC addresses, so that I can connect them both (but one at a time) to the wifi. No they will not allow me to add another device, so I need to clone the MAC address....
So with that said, how does one change the mac address in the SGS.

I also tried to use
`ifconfig eth0 hw ether nn:nn:nn:nn:nn` as I would under linux, but to no avail.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and I was NOT able to spoof my MAC address either using the above mentioned commands. Any other ideas?
may i suggest a micky mouse?
why not take out the laptop and add the samsung's mac address?? tell them you got a new laptop ect?
its easier to spoof the mac address in a laptop
any news?
i need to change address too ...
if you have a Ethernet line in your apt just get a wireless router and disable broadcasting.

Theoretically sound, but practically not applicable. I have many MACs of my friends at work (institution) and I want to use any of the MACs on my android.
It is possible. i have given procedure for LG Optimus One. Same can be used for u'r phone. Just have to locate nvram.txt file. and appen line "macaddr = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" Where "XX:XX:X..." is u'r new mac address.

Not working
HI,
Just received the Gtablet today.
It does not connect with Wifi at home. I have static IP with encryption. I setup wifi settings t owork on static IP but it does not connect (it does try to)
My HTC desire with froyo 2.2 connects no problem, so also other 3 notebooks with windows that I have.
Any idea why.
Have you established a connection to the router first, and then tried to set the static IP or are you first setting up the connecton on your routher using the MAC address for your tablet? I find that when connecting to my router and assigning a static IP that it works best when I first connect and have the DHCP server assign it, and then I go in and manually change it to static.
How are you configuring the setup?

Glad it worked out. I should be instaling TNT tonight once I get my tablet swapped. How difficult/extensive was installing the ROM? I've rotted my MyTouch3G, G1, and my HTC Evo and they were fairly simple. Is it similar?
Thanks,
scott

Hey, im having trouble connecting my htc desire to my home router, im almost 100% certain its because my roommates desire has the same MAC address as mine, meaning the router blocks one. So i tried changing my MAC address using the "ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX method on terminal, but after i change it (i checked, it does change), the router wont even connect to my phone, and it gets stuck on "applying ip address". Also when i turn wifi off on my phone, it changes the MAC address back to the original.
I have looked around a lot and foubd no solution, so please help would be very much appreciated
MAC addresses are unique, so there would have been no need to change it! I'd say leave it reset back to what it was for now.
Have you tried restarting both phone and router? Maybe the router is set to only allow certain MAC addresses. You'll need to add your MAC address to the router in that case. What router is it?

Its a BT 2wire router, i have tried all kinds of stuff like resetting both to factory conditions etc. Iv never tried adding the mac address to the router, though that sounds like it could work.
I thought mac adresses were unique too, but ours say they are the same in hardware information on the phones settings.
How do i add the MAC address to the router?
Hey guys/gals, I have a problem with setting up the wifi on the tab 7.0 plus.
It sees my SSID - I enter in the password, it says obtaining IP - but is stays there never actually giving me an IP from my router. I get signal strength, etc. but I cant access the net.
So i decided to try to set a static IP, but that did not work either (but not sure I did this entirely correctly, so ...)
Any solutions? Whats the problem? it can be that hard....

The likely problem is that DHCP isn't running on your network (or isn't working.) DHCP is something that usually will run on your router and assigns IP numbers to devices that connect to it. It's also possible that DHCP is working fine, but you have MAC Address filtering enabled on your router (which basically limits which devices can attach to your network.)
Finally, it might simply be a router incompatibility (though I haven't seen that very often.)
As to how to resolve those things... I can't answer that... I don't have the same router you do (unless you just so happen to have a linksys E4200), so can't walk you through reconfiguring it.
Good luck

Had the same problem at the beginning when I unboxed my Tab for several times. After few resettings my router an Tab it finally started to work and since that moment couple of days without any issue. So don't know where was the problem..:-(
I also had DHCP issues upon unboxing the tablet. When it first powered up and tried to connect to my D-Link router, my Wi-Fi would go offline. All of my other connected devices would also go offline. After pondering this bizarre behavior for a few moments I decided to turn off the tablets wifi. The router and other devices magically came back online and connected.
After repeating this several times just to make sure I wasn't seeing things I assigned a static IP to the tablet. Everything worked fine after that.
What I think was happening there was that the tablet was trying to grab the router's IP address and that was knocking everything offline. This is just a guess though. Maybe someone with more network saavy than me has some thoughts?
thanks i will try these tonite and reply back.
My Tab is rooted, but I dont believe that matters, correct?
Yes it shouldn't matters...
So i played around, couldnt get DCHP to work for an IP. So i went back to creating a static IP - i missed 1 digit on DNS1 the first time which is why it didnt work last night. Once the static ip was up - boom.....magic. I called samsung support, they indicated that this is a know issue with some home routers (mine is a 2wire) and that a static IP is the solution.
thanks for all the tips above, much appreciated.
