How Do I Find the Wireless MAC Address for Network Registration?

⚠️

Important: A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to your device's Wi‑Fi adapter and typically appear as 12 characters separated by colons or hyphens. Some devices use a Private Wi‑Fi Address (also called a Randomized MAC Address). If you're registering a device on the network, make sure this feature is turned off and you're providing the correct Wi‑Fi MAC address.
