A Media Access Control (MAC) Address, also called the physical address, is a unique identifier associated with your device’s network adapter or network interface controller (NIC).

 

On a device with both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity capabilities, there will be one MAC Address for the wired (Ethernet) connection and another MAC Address for the wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. If a device only has wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity capabilities, then there will only be one MAC Address.

 

How to locate Physical Address (MAC Address):

1. From the desktop, click the Wi-Fi icon in the bottom right-hand corner.
   

2. Click on the up arrow next to the gear icon to expand the settings quick menu.
   

3. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Wi-Fi icon to expand network options.
   

4. Click on the information icon next to the gear settings icon.
   

5. The Mac Address will display.
