Xbox One S asking for MAC address when connecting to internet.

The device is my Xbox one s and it has a old mac address n the network part that I keep clearing but it want clear it so i can't connect to the internet because the mac address that's there isn't on

EpicPoodleJTC, an alternate MAC address is when you take the MAC Address of an already connected device (Every network connectable device has one), and you enter it on the Xbox One under the Advanced Settings. The network sees the MAC Address and it tricks
that network into thinking the Xbox One is the other device, thus allowing it to connect to the internet if the other device has accepted the terms and is able to get online.

I don't think it has a splash page now, but I could be wrong. Connecting to the internet on my laptop or PS3 is still the same as always. When I click on Alternate MAC Address, it is just blank and asks you to enter one. If you're referring to the MAC
Address once you click on Advanced Settings, it reads, 0022482CC6DB.

ReducedBoot3,

What you will need to do is get a device connected such as a laptop, tablet, or phone. Once that is connected, go into the settings for that device and find its Wireless MAC Address. Once you have found the Wireless MAC Address, on the Xbox One go to Settings
> Network. Go to Advanced Settings and select Alternate MAC Address. Enter the Wireless MAC Address of your device in here. After entering this, the network will now see the Xbox One with the MAC Address of your connected device and it will be able to access
the internet.

Most of these interfaces actually validate your Internet by adding your MAC address to an "allowed" list. What you would need to do is use a separate device to gain Internet access by going through the browser validation process. Once that is done, you will
need to get the MAC Address of that device. Once you get the MAC address, you will need to update your system network settings on your xbox 360 to use that MAC address as your xbox MAC address to trick the wireless internet into thinking you are authorized.



MAC addresses are usually found under network settings. They look like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with the X's being replaced with numbers or the letters A through F.



You can use either method or the one above. The benefit of the other poster above is that it's really easy to reauthorize your Internet connection due to a timeout. The negative is that there is some slight performance cost which is negligible. The benefit
to the method I mentioned is that you won't need to have your laptop on to connect to the Internet. Also you will run into an issue if you have both your laptop on and the xbox when they are connected to the Internet.
