What is a MAC address?

A MAC (media access control) address is a unique identification (example: 06:CA:12:F3:BC:7A) assigned to every internet-connected machine that allows it to be identified when connected to a specific network.

You will need to know the MAC address of your gaming console, streaming device, wireless printer, or other IoT (Internet of Things) devices so you can register it into our system before connecting it to the 国产AV-IOT-5G or 国产AV-IOT wireless networks. You do not need to register your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet devices.

How to find your MAC Address?

Below are steps to help you locate the MAC address of some of the most common gaming and entertaining devices available. If your device is not listed or for the most up-to-date information, please check the user manual or official website for your device.
