It's not an option to access the router's setup for me. My phone is getting ip from router like everybody else. There is a mac address defined as a privallage user, bu luck, at first connection my phone took that mac adress, I was using internet without limitations, I deleted the connection from my phone and reconnected. Now I have a different mac adress with no privillage. I want to find out my old random mac address, if I can find it, I will change my phone's mac address and gain unkimited internet again. Is there a file in the android system that old connections or mac addresses have been stored?
So when you have random MAC addressing enabled in your phone, it's the Android operating system that determines the random addresses. You do not have any way to set it up to what you specify. So hypothetically, even if you were able to magically find out just which MAC address your phone was showing at that time whenever someone set up your phone to use this router's WiFi access, that particular MAC address is irrelevant. You are not going to be able to duplicate it anyway.
It's still a matter where you need to either A) disable random MAC addressing in your phone and have whoever is in charge of this router's maintenance and upkeep to reassign your phone a new WiFi access now based on your phone's actual MAC address or B) leave random MAC addressing enabled on your phone and convince the router's manager that they should allow your phone to use DHCP instead of assigned IP addressing so it makes no difference which MAC address your phone might be emitting.
You can keep trying to mess with your phone but it's how the router is configured that's the source of your problem.
