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 33.
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.
