I received my new 740 today even if it took the post office four days to deliver 2 day priority mail. The USPS tracking didn’t show anything until the day of delivery. Anyway….

I lock down my wireless network by MAC address. I can’t find anywhere what the wireless MAC address is for the 740. Anyone have any idea where to find it?

Thanks

I don't know a lot about routers so this may be out of line, but isn't there somewhere in the router setup pages that indicates the MAC address of those devices accessing the router? Perhaps you could unlock your router for a few minutes, let the iFly access the network, check the router statistics, copy down the only MAC address you don't recognize (presumably that's the iFly), then re-lock down the router adding the presumed iFly MAC address. If the iFly connects you've figured it out.

If there is I didn't find it. I see devices IP address but not MAC.

FWIW, my routers are rather old, but I found MAC addresses on both.

Apple Airport Extreme>Advanced>Logging and Statistics>Logs and Statistics>DHCP Clients, mine shows a list of all devices that have accessed in the past several days, it lists IP Address, MAC Address, Lease Time, and Client ID.

Linksys BEFW11S4 V.2>Wireless>>Active MAC Table, Mine listed the two devices currently accessing the wireless signal. One was my iPhone, the other, I presume was the iFly. The only thing this router listed was "Station"(1 &2), and MAC Address.

Good luck

Pielit, sorry - there isn't a way to see the iFly's internal MAC address. However ever router with MAC address filtering I've seen includes some way to select/approve connections. I've added this to the wish list, we'll try and figure out how to display that data in a future release.

Thanks,
Walter
