Our wireless network is set up with <a href="http://www.hometoys.com/emagazine/2012/04/demystifying-wi-fi-roaming-what-you-need-to-know-to-avoid-costly-mistakes/1909" title="AV and Automation Industry eMagazine - Demystifying Wi-Fi Roaming: What You Need to Know to Avoid Costly Mistakes | HomeToys">roaming</a>, so when NetSpot Manager displays the scanned Wi-Fi device, it only shows the <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address" title="MAC address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia">MAC address</a>.

One of them being what MAC address the AirPort unit has. So I needed a solution.</p>
