FAQ

What is a MAC address?

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hardware identifier burned into every network interface — Wi-Fi card, Ethernet port, or Bluetooth radio. It's used for communication on a local network, unlike an IP address which is used for routing across the internet.

How do I find my MAC address?

The location varies by device — see the 'How to find your MAC address' section on this page for step-by-step instructions on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android.

Can a MAC address be changed?

Yes. While every network adapter ships with a manufacturer-assigned MAC address, most operating systems allow it to be overridden in software — a practice called MAC spoofing or randomization, which many phones now do by default for privacy on Wi-Fi networks.

Is my MAC address the same as my IP address?

No. A MAC address identifies a physical network adapter and stays with that hardware. An IP address identifies a device's location on a network and can change. See our What Is My IP Address tool to check the latter.
