Is there a way to find the wifi MAC address of the 2026 Ford Maverick? I want to add it to my home network so I can updates.

If you have a fairly secure password, just enable new connections, then lock it back down after it’s in. Otherwise it is listed somewhere in the touchscreen settings.

If you connect the Mav’s wi-fi to your home’s access point, you should be able to login to the ap and see a list of all the devices attached to it. The info should include the Mav’s MAC address.

Yes.

It is in your screens listed.
Probably the same About Ford audio my shows it.

Note that, (at least on 2025+) I think in some cases it connects to WiFi networks with the TCU, and sometimes it connects via the APIM? So you would need to whitelist two separate MAC addresses.

I don't think there is any documented logic to if/when it will do one or the other or both. I've been meaning to look into it.

ETA: See also https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/2-wifi-connections-which-does-what.9668/. The 2021 Mach-E is based on roughly the same FNV architecture as the 2025+ Mavericks, networking wise.

With MAC spoofing being so easy to do, whitelisting every device is like peeing in the ocean to make it deeper...futile. A strong WPA3 password is all that's needed, along with updated firmware. If you can't update it or use WPA3, throw it in the trash.
