I have a new tablet running Android 4.4
I can connect to Wifi no problem, including the additional Access Point I usually run for hooking up test computers or for visitors. However, as soon as I add the tablet into my main Wifi network and invoke MAC Control, it balks at connecting and returns 'authentication problem' error message.
When connected (after disabling my routers MAC Control) I looked at the list of attached devices and spotted that the MAC address was different to what had been automatically applied earlier in the MAC Control list. Thinking that my router may have picked up the tablet's MAC, I changed it to the other one, which I also noticed was the Wifi MAC under the tablet's details, and it seemed to work OK.
However, subsequent attempts to connect again met with the authentication problem message, BUT this time the MAC address had changed in the connected devices list in the router.
This seems a little weird, but could the tablet be putting out random MAC addresses?
What's the solution?
