Hello - I'm having some issues with students connecting their Google Home minis to our open (unencrypted) network. We currently have two examples of this, but fear there could be hundreds more when our next semester starts.
Long story short, it appears that Google Homes do not currently support connections with captive portals, not great, but at least we know. So I had the student find the MAC address of their Google Home. It seems this is not very straightforward either. It is not printed on the box or anywhere to be found -- so they worked with Google, got a network analyzer, ran a capture and found the MAC address. I have since confirmed the MAC address they found is correct (see below): [image: image.png] Because they can't connect to the network themselves, I went ahead and created a node with the given MAC address, registered it and gave it a proper role. I then went through the Google Home setup routine and it still cannot connect. I was hoping because it was registered, it wouldn't run into the captive portal and it would just work! That doesn't seem to be the case. In fact, I've looked in packetfence.log in all three of my PF nodes, and I don't see any evidence of the Google Mini trying to connect. Any ideas on how to get these things connected? Thanks!
