Is there a way to get the truck MAC address, so I can log onto my password protected network

 

Wireshark

 

Better yet, put your laptop wifi antenna into promiscuous mode and use the aircrack suite to read the surrounding sources

 

If your network is password protected, why use MAC security? It's pretty weak, as discovering and cloning a MAC address is pretty simple.

Use WPA2 with a PSK.

But to find your mac, turn off the mac security on your router. Let the truck connect and see what the MAC is for the client.

 

I finally figured this out! I turned on my wireless hotspot on my phone, connected the truck to it, then looked at the connected devices on the phone. MAC address is right there! Took a screenshot, then added the MAC to my home network. Easy-peasy! This was suggested in another thread that I read, so I can't take credit as my own ingenuity! I hope this helps anyone else in the same position as I was in.

 

Is it in the About menu on SYNC?

 

For those of you using MAC filtering on your router/access point, please know that you should still setup a WPA2 passphrase to protect your WiFi network.. MAC filtering by itself is not securing your WiFi network one bit.

 

its not there.. i did something similar as above.. connected to my home wifi and got the mac address off my router
