The default WiFi MAC Address of some of the OnePlus 10T 5G mobile phones sold in India (Model CPH2413) is invalid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The default MAC address displayed is 02:00:00:00:00:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device works fine when connected to an open network or a secure network that is secured only with a password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device fails to connect to a network that is also secured with a MAC Filter.\u00a0 Routers or switches will not accept 02:00:00:00:00:00 as a valid MAC address and hence, you cannot allow the device on the network with MAC Filter enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shop from where the device was bought or the OnePlus service centre was not able to provide a solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, a system update on 30 October, 2022 fixed the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are one of the unlucky customers who got phones with this issue, update the system software or wait for the next update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A search on the internet can provide you more details on the reason for a MAC address 02:00:00:00:00:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting to a MAC Filter Enabled Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, the MAC address 02:00:00:00:00:00 is a result of MAC address randomisation. Randomisation feature is used to make your device secure by providing random MAC addresses to the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you take the device to the service centre, you can try the following method to connect your device to a MAC Filter enabled network:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. From the Settings<\/strong>, open the Wi-Fi<\/strong> settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Enable Wi-Fi<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Select the SSID of the network you want to connect to, from the list of SSIDs displayed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Enter the Password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tap the information icon on the right to the SSID name. Under the MAC address<\/strong>, you can see a MAC address<\/strong> marked as Random<\/strong> and under Privacy<\/strong>, you can see Randomized MAC address<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Tap on the Random MAC address<\/strong> option under Privacy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Select Device MAC address<\/strong> option. The MAC address changes to the Device MAC Address in the MAC address<\/strong> field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Enter this Device MAC address in your router or switch that does the filtering.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You should be able to connect to your MAC filter enabled network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
