My internet provider is requesting the MAC address of from the Apple TV 3 I'm trying to hook up. It is not plainly listed anywhere. Is there another name for this address? Where can I find it?
Thanks,
Pterodroma
Open "Settings" -> "General" -> "Network". You will find the MAC address (could be called WLAN address" at the bottom of the screen (next to last line, above signal strength)
You can also find it in Settings->General->About under Ethernet Address.
(not sure if either of these fields are populated if you're not connected to the network, but I would think the About section would be more likely to have it in that case.
On the menu under 'Network', it has a 'DNS ADDRESS' and a 'Wi-Fi ADDRESS". Could it be either of these? There is no Ethernet Address or WLAN address listed.
Thanks for all of your help.
A MAC address consists of 6 hexadecimal numbers separated by colons. It looks like this: E4:27:8F:2D:A7:4E for example. Check if wi-fi address is such a number. If so, this is the MAC address
Hope this helps.
Was there an "Ethernet Addess" listed on the Settings->General->About page?
The MAC address will have six nodes separated by colons. It will look something like this: 09:5A:43:02:6A
Which Apple TV do you have? What version of the software?
There will be two MAC addresses.
One for wi-fi and one for ethernet.
It should be listed under Settings>General>About, depending on which you are using.
If you have ethernet cable plugged in wifi is disabled so it should be the ethernet address. If ethernet unplugged it should give the wifi Mac address.
Apple used to put the MAC address on teh product box, but for some daft reason had not done so with either the latest iPad or AppleTV3.
Send feedback:
Where can I find the MAC address on ATV3?
