Please Help.

Microsoft Locked the wireless alternate mac address on the new xbox one s , this means if you have to manually input the wireless mac address you cant, even if you manually input the wireless alternate mac address it wont take after the console restarts..this
is bad new gamers, you been warned...if you need to manually enter your alternate mac address then dont buy a new xbox one s.

also noted that every game console lets you change the wireless mac address, even the original xbox one lets you change the alternate mac address to the one you need to use...but the new xbox one s locked us out in changing the wireless mac address manually

 

Xbox One S - Alternate MAC Address 'Spoofing' No Longer Works for Hotel Use

I hope this saves people hours of searching.

As the title reads, using an Alternate MAC address no longer works on the Xbox One S.

I tried for hours to figure out how to change the MAC on my new Xbox One S, so I could use it while I am at a hotel (I travel a lot). When I went into Advanced Network Settings and changed the MAC, the system rebooted, but reverted back to the old MAC.

I even tried to change the MAC address on my laptop Wifi adapter to match the Xbox One S so I could spoof it that way, but Windows requires Alternate MAC addresses to start with a 02.

Finally, I contacted Xbox support and they informed me that the Xbox One S does not support Alternate MAC Addresses. They noted my concern, but did not have a resolution.

I am now trying to figure out an alternate solution that does not require a hot spot service.

I am very disappointed as I bought the new Xbox One S so that I could use it when I travel.

Does it help ?

Hi BryanPegram

If you're trying to clear the MAC address all you need to do is go to your settings, then network settings, then advanced network settings, alternate MAC address, clear, reset. Your console will reset itself at that point.

 

after my console resets the same problem happens

 

Im also living in an apartment complex so i dont know if that has something to do with it.. i do not have access to the router or anything like that.

 

Hello Bryan,

Thank you for keeping us updated. We need a few more details to ensure we provide the correct solution. Are you stuck on the initial set up of the console? Do you see an error message or error code appear when the issue occurs? Are you trying to locate the
MAC address of the console? The
MAC address appears in the advanced settings portion of the network settings. There will be a wired and wireless MAC address. We will provide steps on how to locate the MAC address. Be sure to let us know the results!
