Mac address change

I want to change the mac address of my x1 because I want it to work in the hotel i work at, but everytime i type in a mac address it shows : type in a valid mac address.

I tried the mac address of my phone, my tablet and my laptop, but always the same problem can someone help ?

:)

 

Manual wired IP address changes on its own

Quick Question. Are you using the same MAC address? If so, your wireless MAC address is different than your wired MAC address. Look it up and change it in your Netgear router. If you want the same IP address you were using, you will need to change the
MAC address for that IP (Routers won't allow you to associate 1 IP address with 2 MAC addresses).

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

 

MAC address format (when entered on the Xbox One) shouldn't require the colons or dashes. For example, "AB-CD-EF-12-34-56" would be entered as "ABCDEF123456".

Alternatively, you can try spoofing the MAC address on your other devices (using the MAC address of your Xbox).

 

eliminating the colons worked for me, thank you

 

IF anyone is still getting caught up in the MAC address junk I found a solution by holding down the power button for 10 seconds! It works every time I have an issue with the connections unit on my XBOX. Perhaps it might work fro you guys?
