The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social security number. If your ISP requires MAC address registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by following the instructions in “Appendix C: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”
