[QUOTE="blackice, post: 1078439, member: 79035"] Look at the WiFi network information on your iPad for your network. And see if this option is turned on: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2856.jpeg"]282061[/ATTACH] If it is there will be a MAC address under it. These are generated private addresses, they do change when you first connect to a new network. I turn this off at home, it causes confusing issues whenever you change network setting or upgrade firmware.
