Determining the FRITZ!Box's BSSID

A BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) serves as a unique identifier of a wireless access point, for example a router or a repeater, in a Wi-Fi network. Some applications for setting up Wi-Fi connections require you to enter a BSSID when you want to set up a Wi-Fi connection to your FRITZ!Box.

The FRITZ!Box's BSSID is the MAC address at which the FRITZ!Box can be accessed by wireless devices.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE v2, v3, and v4 with the latest FRITZ!OS, the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE v1 may differ.
