A MAC address is a unique number used to identify a device on a network. The MAC randomization feature allows devices to use a randomized MAC address when connecting to a WiFi network.

MAC Randomization needs to be switched OFF only for the Happinetz WiFi network in all connected devices. No other WiFi networks settings will be affected.
