My bad, thanks for the correction! You still can’t identify a specific device type based on the MAC address though, right?

- lathiat 3y agoOn the same WiFi network yes you can - it uses the same MAC on the same SSID. Remembers the "random" MAC after the first connection (and if you first connected to the networks before they added MAC randomisation in iOS14, it "remembers" the actual MAC of the device, so you didn't have compatability issues after the iOS14 upgrade). So you can't use it to track devices between multiple SSIDs including when scanning for networks, but you can use it to persistently identify a device when connected to the same network.
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoYou misread the question.
- lathiat 3y agoYep, you're right. Agree with the other post - the randomly generated MACs have no manufacturer info.
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoOther than perhaps the manufacturer from the OUI, no.
- epcoa 3y agoThere’s no manufacturer in a randomly generated local OUI.
