For the purposes of 802.1x Mac Address Bypass we will need the Ethernet Mac Address. Xbox (original): Turn on your Xbox console with no game disc in the disc tray; From the Xbox Dashboard, choose Xbox Live - you should receive the following message: 'Could not connect to Xbox Live Do you want to troubleshoot your network connection?' We are trying to determine this because the ISP I work for, we have account systems. And for a person's device to be connected to the internet, we have to add the MAC address. But with the Xbox One's we obviously can't get the MAC address unless they are online.so it's a double edged sword. For educational purposes only. Apple TV Go to the main menu on your Apple TV, and select 'Settings.' In the Settings Menu, select 'About.' Here you can find your MAC Address listed as the 'Wireless ID' Xbox One Press the 'Menu' button on your controller. Navigate to the Settings page. Select Advanced Settings. MAC address will be listed next to Wireless MAC.

Register your device for a wired connection

To register your device for a wired connection, see Register your wired device on the IU network.

Register your device for a wireless connection

For your media device or gaming console to connect to the internet via IU PublicNet, its network adapter must be registered with the IU PublicNet service. Although your device will be able to connect to IU PublicNet before its network adapter is registered, it will remain with limited access, which will prevent it from connecting to the internet. Once its network adapter is registered, your device will be able to receive a public IP address (in the 149.16x.x.x or 134.68.x.x range), which will allow it to connect to the internet.

Gaming consoles cannot connect to WPA2 Enterprise, and therefore cannot authenticate to eduroam or IU Secure.

Registration first involves accessing the online registration page from an internet-connected computer, tablet, or smartphone to associate your device's MAC address with your University account:

Xbox
  1. Find your device's MAC address and record it, as you'll need it later. It will look similar to:

    For help, refer to:

    • PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Wii, or Wii U: See Find your gaming console's MAC address.
    • AppleTV, TiVo, Roku, or Amazon Fire: See Find your smart TV, DVR, or set-top box's MAC address.
    • You can also consult the manufacturer's documentation for your device. Be aware that you need the Wi-Fi MAC address, not the wired.
  2. On a device with a web browser (your phone or laptop, for example), select the IU PublicNet network.

    Alternatively, on a computer, tablet, or smartphone already connected to the IU network (eduroam or IU Secure), access IU Home/IoT Devices public registration.

  3. Choose Home/IoT Devices. Log in with your IU username and passphrase.
  4. Complete the 'Create Device' form, for example:
  5. At the bottom of the form, click Create to register your device.

Your device should now have an IP address that begins in either 149.16x.x.x or 134.68.x.x. If your device still can't connect to the network, restart the device and try reconnecting to IU PublicNet.

If the problem persists, contact your campus Support Center.

Find your gaming console's MAC address

To register your gaming console, you will need to know its MAC address (similar to 06:CA:12:F3:BC:7A). Use the following instructions to find the MAC address for your gaming console:

This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of consoles; rather, it includes those which are commonly used and widely available.

PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 3

  1. Power up the console with no disc in the drive.
  2. When the main menu screen appears, select Settings.
  3. Select System Settings.
  4. Select System Information. Your MAC address will appear on this screen.

Xbox One

  • Normal method:
    1. Go to Settings. Select Network, then Network Settings, and then Advanced Settings.
    2. The wired and wireless MAC addresses will be displayed.
  • Out of the box/no day one patch
    • Method 1:
      1. Connect to IU PublicNet.
      2. The connection will fail. Run a network test.
      3. The test will fail. Select the Network Settings option to retrieve the wired and wireless MAC addresses.
    • Method 2 (for newer models):
      1. Connect to IU PublicNet.
      2. The connection will fail. Click Let's fix it.
      3. The Xbox will attempt to diagnose the problem, and then eventually give several options. Go to the manual setup option. The next screen will display several pieces of information, including both MAC addresses.
    If you have issues finding the MAC address via the above methods, you may want to try an alternate connection (for example, using your phone as a hotspot) to get the day one patch.

Xbox 360

  1. To access the Xbox Guide, press the Xbox Guide button on the Xbox 360 controller. The Guide button is silver, is in the center of the controller, and has a green X on it.
  2. Go all the way to the right and select Settings.
  3. Select System.
  4. On the new screen, select Network Settings.
  5. For the wired connection, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in, and then select Wired Network. For the wireless connection, select Wireless Network.
  6. Select Configure Network.
    The wired connection test attempt may fail, but it will still allow you to select Configure Network.
  7. Select the Additional Settings tab on the upper right, and then select Advanced Settings.
  8. The wired or wireless MAC address will be displayed.

Some of the above is adapted from Howto find your Xbox 360 MAC address and Howdo I find the MAC address on my Xbox 360?

Switch

To find your Switch's MAC address, see How to Find a Nintendo Switch Console's MAC Address.

Wii U

To find your Wii U's MAC address (wireless) or LAN adapter MAC address (wired) after plugging in the console, see Howto Find the MAC Address.

Wii

To find your Wii's MAC address or LAN adapter MAC address after plugging in the console, see How to Find the MAC Address.

Early Wii consoles may not be able to connect due to compatibility issues with their wireless cards. If your Wii cannot connect, you will need to use a Nintendo-compliant USB LAN (Ethernet) adapter.

Using a third-party Ethernet adapter

If you're using a third-party Ethernet adapter, the MAC address may show up as all zeros. To find its MAC address, plug your Wii LAN adapter into a USB port on your computer; if you're using Windows, allow the drivers to install. Continue as follows:

Windows: See Find your Windows network adapter's MAC address.

macOS:

Xbox Mac Address Range

  1. Open the Terminal program from the Applications > Utilities folder.
  2. Type ifconfig, and press Enter.
  3. Scroll up to 'USB Ethernet Adapter'. Next to 'Physical Address', you will see an alphanumeric value that follows the format XX-XX-XX-XX-XX; write it down.
