Private Address-MAC Randomisation

Eiehler — Wed, 05 May 2021 12:55:24 GMT

I am aware of the not so recent changes to iOS14 and the MAC Randomisation but has anyone found a way to use air print?

Having issues printing to a HP Envy 4500 (latest firmware) after the iOS 14 changes last year, the only way past it so far is to turn off "Private Address" in the iOS Wi-Fi settings, wondered if there is a setting on the Smart Hub 2 that could be changed

Thanks

Why would you not want to turn off Private Addressing on your home wifi?

I can understand maybe leaving it on for other wifi access points but not your home one.

By default it's on, it'll mean switching it on/off or more importantly, remembering to switch it on when away from home. Hopefully there'll be an setting in the next home hub that can deal with it.

Why would the home hub have to fix some marketing gimmick unnecessarily introduced by Apple? Nobody else does it.

It's switchable for each & every wifi connection so on my home wifi it's off but when I connect to any other it's on unless I specifically turn off for that specific connection. It's not an across the board on/off switch.

That's good to know, thanks.
