So I was curious if there’s any way to Set your phone to have a specific MAC address. I know you can randomize it or use the phone’s default one…

My reasonings may seem odd but I just bought a ps five and It won’t let me authenticate my xfinity account. I had the same issue on my Xbox, but bypassed it by using my phone’s MAC address on my xbox. That was already authenticated. However on the playstation You can’t Change the mac address so I was thinking if I Set my phone to the playstation’s mac and then authenticate it should work

    Yes you can easily change your MAC address on the phone, but only valid until reboot.

    That said, authentication services authenticate your MAC address to ensure that it’s the authorised device logging in. If your PS5 is not authenticated, you change your phone to your PS5 MAC will result in your phone not being authenticated?

    Chances are, it’s a sign of some sort of hacking to the network and both MAC address may be banned.

    Good luck, try it out and let us know.

    Also, when you’re free, do enlighten us how you got into the predicament. - it doesn’t make sense.
