Apple Private Wi-Fi address

All,

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions around setting client address reservation when "Apple Private Wi-Fi address" is set to "fixed"?

Each time its set up on the router, within next reboot of the device the mac address will change and reservations are then broken.

Hoping someone has suggestions for this. Ideally I would like the option for this to be "fixed".

Many thanks.
Andy

Could you further explain what you mean by this?
Where is this „fixed“ option?

You will need to disable private address (for that known wireless network on your device) or you will see this issue. That is part of the purpose of that feature - to disallow long-term tracking of your device via mac-address.

Yep, @packetmonkey is right - as long as we are correct with the assumption that you are talking about this privacy feature :slight_smile:

No. Those features are mutual exclusive.
