    MAC address on Xbox One S


    Hello,

    I just got my Xbox One S and I need to set it up with my university in order to connect it to the wi-fi. I'm having a hard time finding the MAC address to register it. The only thing that it's letting me do on the console is to choose the language setting
    before it gets into the internet connection. Is there an easy way to find the MAC address?

    Thanks everyone!

    :)

    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.

    How can I fix this without paying for game pass or the game, Again?

    Let´s try clearing the MAC address

    Press Start at the main Xbox menu. Navigate to Settings. Select Network Settings, Advanced Settings, Alternative Mac Address, and finally Clear.
