Connecting to WOH BYOD on an Android Device - Turn off Private Addressing

If the device is an Android product and the OS is 10.0.0 or newer, you may need to turn off the 'Private Address' setting in order for our system to register it's your device.

Below are some instructions on how to turn off the ‘Private Address’ setting:

Turn private address off or on for a network

You can stop or resume using a private address with any network. For better privacy, leave the setting on for all networks that support it.

Android

  1. Open the Settings app, then tap Wi-Fi.

  2. When you see your Wi-Fi network name in the list, tap the gear icon beside it.

  3. On OnePlus and Pixel phones, select “Use device MAC.” If you use a Samsung device, tap “MAC address type” and choose “Phone MAC.” If your device is different than both of these, look for a similar option that says “MAC” and enable it.

Tap "Use device MAC" in the menu.
