Your device's MAC address can usually be found in one of these places:

    • In the device's app under Settings or About.
    • On the device packaging or quick start guide.
    • In the device's Wi-Fi or Network settings.
    • During the Wi-Fi setup process on some devices.

Tip: The MAC address may also be called a Wi-Fi Address, Hardware Address, or Physical Address.
