How to enable random hardware addresses in Windows 11/10 [Tutorial]
In Windows 11, you can enable the hardware address randomization feature to improve the privacy and security of a wireless connection. In this guide, I'll explain how to do it. If you have a computer with a Wi-Fi adapter, the device will send a signal to scan and find nearby wireless networks, even when there is no active connection.
The problem (or concern) is that as the device scans for networks, it also sends the adapter's Media Access Control (MAC) address. This information allows others to track the device's location, usually in certain areas such as airports, shopping malls, and other public spaces.
Random hardware addresses (also known as MAC address randomization) is a feature that makes it harder to track a computer as it searches for and connects to Wi-Fi networks by generating random hardware addresses that constantly change to make your location more private.
