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 Wi-Fi
screen. See Wi-Fi on page 27.
Tip!
You can cut and paste your computer's MAC address from the Wi-Fi Clients section of the Wi-Fi
screen.
If the computer is not connected to the MiFi wireless network, you can find the MAC address
directly. To find the MAC address, follow one of these steps.
On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can find the Physical Address
