Recent device updates cause most wi-fi problems.
Please see the instructions below on how to turn off private addressing*. Contrary to some rumors, LVC is not trying to steal your data by asking you to turn off private addressing [debunked]! Private addressing causes your device to be de-registered from LVC’s network.
Once you’ve turned off private addressing, you may need to re-register your device (instructions above).
How to Turn Off Private Addressing
*Private Addressing (or Randomized MAC) is a security setting that periodically changes your device’s MAC address to avoid being tracked across a public network. This is a great feature when using a public network that is not trusted, like at a coffee shop, sports event, or convention; however, when you are on a trusted network like LVC wireless, where users must register their devices, using the MAC address, this is not necessary and causes more frustration. Because the device’s MAC address constantly changes, the device slips in and out of registration, affecting your ability to access the network.
