Why can’t I connect to a specific Wi-Fi router?

Android security tools function by limiting your apps’ access to your device’s IMEI, serial number, and other identifying information. It also gives you a little more protection when using Wi-Fi networks by randomizing your device’s MAC (media access control) address.

If you use your device for business, your organization might require the Wi-Fi MAC address of your device in order to make a wireless connection. The Wi-Fi privacy settings use randomized MAC addresses by default, so you will need to manually change this to “Use device MAC” by following the steps below:

a)     Wi-Fi with password lock

a)    Touch “Menu”.

b)    Touch “Settings”.

c)    Touch “Wi-Fi”.

d)    Touch the Wi-Fi name to enter the password input interface.

e)    Touch “Advanced options”.

f)     Touch “Use randomized MAC” under privacy, then touch “Use device MAC” in the pop-up menu.

g)    Then input the correct password to connect Wi-Fi.

 

b)     Wi-Fi without password

a)    Touch “Menu”.

b)    Touch “Settings”.

c)    Touch “Wi-Fi”.

d)    Touch the Wi-Fi name to save the Wi-Fi.

e)    Touch the setting icon beside Wi-Fi name with Saved status in the list.

f)     Touch “Privacy”.

g)    Touch “Use device MAC” in the pop-up menu
