Can I find the MAC address of my Access point in Android?

Question

Can my Android app find the MAC address of the Wifi access point it is connected to?

The docs for android.net.wifi.WifiInfo getMacAddress() don\'t provide any details

Answer 1

I'm fairly sure that getMacAddress(), is, as you suspected for the Local Device.

If you can get the IP of the router/gateway/accesspoint, then you might be able to use the code in this post: https://web.archive.org/web/20160308014312/http://www.flattermann.net/2011/02/android-howto-find-the-hardware-mac-address-of-a-remote-host/ to do your bidding. Good luck!
