BSSID vs MAC address?
<p>I dont understand the difference between the MAC address and BSSID</p>

<p>I understand that MAC is an identifier to local networks, but when I searched BSSID on wiki I got:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>In an infrastructure BSS, the BSSID is the MAC address of the wireless
  access point (WAP).</p>
</blockquote>

<p>if bssid is the mac address of wap, then how come MAC dresses and BSSID are different? I tried this on a simple android app, when I getConnectionInfo I have a different bssid from a MAC address. Can someone please explain this to me?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
