Description
Gets the MAC address of the routher you are connected to
Syntax
WiFi.BSSID(bssid);
Parameters
bssid: 6 byte array
Returns
A byte array containing the MAC address of the router the WiFi shield is currently connected to.
Example
#include <WiFi101.h>
//SSID of your network
char ssid[] = "yourNetwork";
//password of your WPA Network
char pass[] = "secretPassword";
void setup()
{
WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
if ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.println("Couldn't get a wifi connection");
while(true);
}
// if you are connected, print out info about the connection:
else {
// print the MAC address of the router you're attached to:
byte bssid[6];
WiFi.BSSID(bssid);
Serial.print("BSSID: ");
Serial.print(bssid[5],HEX);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(bssid[4],HEX);
