Are these two settings necessary? What's the use case for it? I was playing around with them and I know it's likely to be user error on my part, but it seems to have caused me more problems than I anticipated and I had to reset to start all over.
BSSID is needed or not? Don't understand this.
A basic service set is a subgroup, within a service set, of devices that share physical-layer medium access characteristics (e.g. radio frequency, modulation scheme, security settings) such that they are wirelessly networked. The basic service set is defined by a basic service set identifier (BSSID ) shared by all devices within it. The BSSID is a 48-bit label that conforms to MAC-48 conventions. While a device may have multiple BSSIDs, usually each BSSID is associated with at most one basic service set at a time.
I would not enable Enable Randomized BSSID if you're also using static leases on your clients.
What is best practice? There's a warning that I could be tracked if I disable it. Interestingly, none of the TVs or even the Apple TV has a randomized MAC.
Are you worried about tracking yourself on your own network? When you talk to yourself does anyone else answer? ![]()
Yessir.
I'm in your walls.
