WiFi: Turn off Private Addressing on MacOS

Body

Overview

Starting with macOS Sequoia, macOS now has three options for private addressing: Rotating, Fixed, and Off.
Before registering your Mac for the UTK Network, the private address setting needs to be turned off.

Procedure

To turn off private addressing in macOS:

  1. Choose the Apple Menu in the top left, then select System Settings.
  2. Choose Wi-fi in the sidebar.
  3. Choose the Details/More Info button beside the network you wish to connect to.
  4. From the menu next to Private Wi-Fi address, choose Off. (We do not recommend choosing Fixed.)

More information about private Wi-Fi addresses on Apple devices is available on Apple's Support site.
