and network key (Wi-Fi passkey).

and network key (Wi-Fi passkey) can connect to the MiFi 4620L wireless network.
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 26.)
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 ind the MAC address
directly. To ind the MAC address, follow one of these steps.
•
On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can ind the Physical Address
by running
ipconfig /all from the cmd window.
» To run ipconfig/all , select Start > All Programs (or Programs ) > Accessories > Command
Prompt to open the Command Prompt window. Then type ipconfig/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.
