does anyone know how to find the MAC address of the EZ-B V4?
Someone is hijacking Nomads network so I am implementing MAC filtering. If I could get the device on the network, I would be able to see the MAC, but as soon as I unlock MAC filtering, the AP gets compromised.
Please let me know if there is any way to find the MAC address while in AP mode on the EZ-B V4.
Thanks

Dhcp isn't assigned from this ap and he doesn't have rights to the router to see the dhcp attached devices.
Is there something that will display the mac or is it printed on the wifi radio in the device?
I stepped away from some lunch. I left the connection up and locked down so hopefully the guy has moved on to a different target and I can get the MAC addresses and get them assigned. Nomad has some neighbors who are not very nice at all when it comes to Wifi.
I will update when there is a solution. I had hoped to have JD configured by now but we haven't even started on that part yet.
I will probably do this again and enable DHCP on the router, which will allow the ezb to connect to the ap, but not the network, and then I will be able to get the mac from there.
Ahhhh... the trouble of todays technology.
I looked into that a few years ago to see what the laws about using some ones wifi with out them knowing
if so install fling##### fing not fling
this will give all device connected to a router or ap. maps a lan.

p.s. connect android first To wireless router or ap, then start fling.
p.s.s this will ip and mac address, enjoy!
p.s.s.s I have other tools. jad
Can you give a goigle play link to the "fling" tool you suggest? Just searched Play and hundreds of apps come up and none on the first few pages are network tools.

Looks like it could do what you describe. Installing it now.
***edit*** I see you already found it...
WiFi Analyzer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
Will find them if they are in AP mode and not connected to the Android or the router.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Also, his JD is at about 90% now. i will connect back up tomorrow to complete.
need some Aluminum foil (like Reynolds Wrap heavy Duty).
Make a shield from the other apartments around the AP and aim it only to device that is attaching to the AP. This will also direct all signals from AP in that direction.
If you ever need to make a cheap signal booster, this works too.

All good, its working great now. Using technology to defeat technology attacks is fun. also, the attack was coming from below most likely. He would have had to walk on aluminum. thats no fun. it could have been coming from another building also. in any event, it isnt happening now and he is happy.
1) open cmd command prompt
2) ping the IP address at least once
3) type ARP -a
You will see the Mac that matches the ip
Anyway, I wonder if in a future release of the firmware if you could include the MAC address in the webserver that is in each EZ-B. Just a thought, but it would be very helpful in some crazy situations like to one I helped Patrick with today.
Otherwise, the default SSID of the WiFi when in AP mode will have the MAC in the name
