How do I find a device’s MAC address?
You must know the MAC address for a device when you are doing the following:
• Assigning an IP address based on a MAC address (when using DHCP)
• Allowing or denying devices access to your WiFi network (MAC filtering)
Tip: To display a list of connected devices, including the MAC address of
each device, go to the mobile router web page and log in as an
administrator. The connected devices list appears on the left side of
the dashboard. Click the device links to display IP and MAC
addresses.
The steps for finding a device’s MAC address depend on the operating system. If your device
runs an operating system not listed in the following procedures, see the appropriate operating
system documentation.
