The invention proposes to generate a new MAC address for a non-AP station while being associated with an AP station, for use when associating again with the same AP station. For privacy reason, the same new MAC address is generated locally at both the non-AP station and the AP station using a shared function. This is done in a synchronized manned, preferably at the end of the association, e.g. when disassociating. The non-AP station disassociates with the AP station, and at any time in the future, it may associate again with the same AP station using this new MAC address. The AP station is therefore able to recognize the non-AP station, while outside observers only see a new MAC address and thus see a new non-AP station associating with the AP station. User privacy is therefore reinforced over time as the non-AP station associates multiple times to the same AP.

Some implementations herein enable improved accuracy in identifying and consolidating network assets by distinguishing between reliable and unreliable identifiers, thereby enhancing network security and management capabilities.

Embodiments identify a station that rotates an over the air station address. As address rotation was not originally designed into wireless networks, the rotation can introduce communication challenges for the station. The embodiments derive that traffic referencing two different over the air station addresses are associated with a single common station. This is accomplished by determining a similarity between properties of two sets of traffic. A first set of traffic references the first over the air station address and a second set of traffic references the second over the air station address. If the properties common across the two sets of traffic indicate sufficient similarity, the embodiments determine that both sets of traffic are associated with a single device. Network configuration of the device is then adjusted based on the determination.
