Wi-Fi random MAC address is a privacy feature that changes your device's unique network identifier (MAC address) each time it connects to a network. (The exact behavior may vary depending on the device vendor.), helps protect your privacy by preventing tracking across different Wi-Fi networks.
While helpful for privacy, it can cause issues with networks that rely on fixed MAC addresses for access or tracking. To connect to such networks, you may need to disable random MAC addresses and use your device’s original, static MAC address.
