[Resolved] Suunto 7 MAC address

[A Former User]

Hello everyone!

If I go to Settings > System > About and press over “Model / Suunto 7” I get the MAC address, but this is from WiFi?
The WiFi service create a random MAC to connect to WiFi like on mobile?
My S7 works well, but I have some difficulty when I try to connect to some WiFi spot that need MAC address validation.

Thanks!
Cheers,

@flypg yes afaik the Mac address of the watch is that. It can be that the mac address is “randomized” so that makes it hard I think

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thank you!
Yes, the behavior is strange. The MAC that I found on “Model /Suunto 7” looks that is fixed, but not always the S7 use this MAC to connect to the WiFi spot

@flypg connect to a wifi. Go to your settings , then connectivity , then wifi , then click on the wifi to which you are connected. You will get all details including mac address there.

That should do it … But I am not sure when it changes…

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks again!
Yes, but the problem is that information is only displayed when you are “connected”. Before this, you only get the button to “forget” this network.

Also, I correct myself, because doing these test I see that the other MAC address is also fixed, is not the same that the MAC address that found on “Model / Suunto 7” but looks that is always the same until now. This is good because I can add boths MAC and done

Thanks!

@flypg Maybe the MAC you see on the watch is from BT? Can you check with some iOS/Android BT tool? I have no S7 so I cannot verify.

@johann-fuehrer I checked and you are right, is the BT MAC, mystery solved
Strange that have this there instead the WiFi MAC
Thanks!
