Get MAC adress of current wifi access point

[wougl]

Hi is there a way of reading the mac adress of the wifi access point / router etc?

Try to build a very basic indoor navigation and right building / right floor would be sufficient start
Without BLE tokens or NFC tags ...

The wifi extension offers the BSSID method for that

Thank you very much
Tried this extension some months ago already but failed to get useful data

Now read the manual and discovered the issue with ,location services' and voila proper mac adresses

Funny is that this is not implemented in your demo app as well make it end in errors at some buttons

Now its working properly - will add a screenshot later

Yes, you have to grant location permission and enable GPS for some methods to work

made it work by adding [sensors] -> [ location sensor] then the app asks for permission and all fine

Or you just follow my example project without adding a locationsensor and use the RequestLocationPermission method
