How do I get the mac address off my apple tv to complete set up, I cant get wifi without it as I need to register my apple tv to get wifi

You don't say what model you have. On an ATV4 go to Settings>Network, select WiFi in the menu at the top of the list, and at the bottom of the list you should see 'Wi-Fi MAC address'. The earlier models may be similar.
Hi. Can you temporarily turn off MAC address blocking on your router? Try going into the router settings while trying to connect Apple TV and see if it reports the connection attempt. You may simply be able to allow it from there. This worked for me on Linksys R6400.
The first step in setting up this atv4 is getting it connected with wifi, but my wifi provider asks for the mac address, in order for me to get to the apple tv setting I need wifi. As I have read Apple did at one point have the mac address on the box but have discontinued doing it. All I can think to do is take it to a friends place and try and hook it up with a different wifi, just cant seem to find how to get this mac address
It's quite irresponsible of Apple not to include the MAC address on the box or in the documentation, for precisely the reason you describe. Normally this arises when you've set up Access Control on your router, in which case you can turn it off to get the ATV connected and then turn it back on. In your situation taking it to a friend's is really your only option. There's no problem about doing this and then changing it to your own wifi once it's enabled.
I contacted Apple support, they say MAC address on bottom of Apple TV, he goes and looks and agrees it's not, only solution he could give me was create a hot spot or go to a friends place and set it up there to get the address.
