Find the MAC Address on a Computer
The Media Access Controller (MAC) Address is also known as a hardware or physical address for a
device (usually a network adapter). It consists of six pairs of numbers and letters (for example,
00-21-9B-1C-64-34).
You can view the MAC address for any device connected to the MiFi wireless network from the WiFi
screen. [See WiFi
(page 38).]
Tip! You can cut and paste your computer’s MAC address from the WiFi Clients section of the WiFi screen.
If the computer is not connected to the MiFi wireless network, you can nd the MAC address
directly.
• On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can nd the Physical Address
by running ipcong /all from the cmd window.
» To run ipcong/all, select Start > All Programs (or Programs) > Accessories > Command Prompt to open
the Command Prompt window. Then type ipcong/all and press the Return or Enter key.
• On a Mac, the MAC address is the AirPort ID.
» To find the AirPort ID, open the Apple () Menu > System Preferences > Network. In the list, click
AirPort. Click Advanced. A sheet opens. Click the AirPort tab. The AirPort ID is at the bottom of the sheet.
IMPORTANT Windows only: Make sure you get the MAC address for the wireless network
adapter and not the Ethernet controller (NIC), if the computer has both.
