How To Find MAC Address?

A Media Access Control Address, or MAC address, is a unique address used to identify connected devices just like an IP address. Every device on your home network has a unique MAC address. If you know a device’s MAC address, you can let it in or keep it out. From the router’s Admin Panel, you can find out the MAC address of your device and all the other devices that are connected to it.
