A4:C3:F0:85:AC:2D — six pairs of numbers and letters separated by colons or dashes. Routers use MAC addresses for device management, parental controls, and network filtering.
From your Home screen, tap the Settings app (the grey gear icon), then scroll down and tap General.
The very first item in General is About. Tap it to open the device information screen.
Scroll down the About screen until you see Wi-Fi Address. The value next to it — in the format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX — is your iPhone's MAC address for its Wi-Fi adapter.
Open the Settings app and scroll to the bottom to find About Phone (also called "About Device" on some models). Tap it.
On most Android phones, you'll see a Status or Hardware Information option inside About Phone. Tap it. On Samsung devices, tap Status information.
Scroll down to find Wi-Fi MAC address. The 12-character alphanumeric string is your device's MAC address. On some phones it may be listed as simply "MAC address."
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi (or Connections → Wi-Fi on Samsung). Make sure you're connected to a network.
Tap the gear icon or the name of the network you're connected to to open its details page.
Scroll down in the network details to find MAC address or MAC type. If it shows "Randomized," tap the field to switch to "Device MAC" to see your real hardware address.
Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Enter. Alternatively, search "Command Prompt" in the Start menu and open it.
In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig /all exactly as shown and press Enter. A large list of network information appears.
Look for your active network adapter — either Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi (for wireless) or Ethernet adapter Ethernet (for wired). The Physical Address line under it is your MAC address, formatted like A4-C3-F0-85-AC-2D.
Press Windows + I to open Settings, then click Network & Internet.
Click Wi-Fi in the left panel, then click your connected network name. Or click Ethernet if you're wired in, then click your connection.
Scroll to the bottom of the network properties page. You'll see Physical address (MAC) with the 12-character address listed next to it.
Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen, then click System Settings (macOS Ventura and later) or System Preferences (macOS Monterey and earlier).
In System Settings, click Network in the left sidebar. A list of your network connections (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.) appears.
Click on the network you're using (e.g., Wi-Fi), then click the Details button next to it. A sheet slides down with detailed network information.
In the Details sheet, click the Hardware tab. Your MAC address appears at the top, listed as MAC Address in the format a4:c3:f0:85:ac:2d.
Press Command + Space to open Spotlight, type Terminal, and press Enter to open it.
For Wi-Fi, type: ifconfig en0 | grep ether and press Enter. For Ethernet (if connected), try: ifconfig en1 | grep ether. The line beginning with ether is your MAC address.
