University Wi-Fi Requires MAC Address

Finding Your Monitor’s Wi-Fi MAC Address

When connecting your monitor to a university Wi-Fi network that requires MAC address registration, you’ll need to locate the device’s Wi-Fi MAC address. Here’s how:

Step 1 — Open System Settings

On your monitor, open Settings.

Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap System settings.

Step 2 — Open About Phone

In System settings, scroll down again and select About phone.

Scroll to the bottom of the About phone screen.

Look for Device Wi-Fi MAC address. This is the number you will need to provide to the university.

It should look like this: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (six pairs of letters/numbers separated by colons).

Tips & Troubleshooting

Check the format: A MAC address always has six pairs of numbers/letters separated by colons (e.g. A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6).

Still can’t find it? If the Device Wi-Fi MAC Address doesn’t appear under About phone, try looking here instead:

Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi → Advanced

Before connecting: Make sure you copy the Device Wi-Fi MAC address when registering with your university. Using the wrong one (like a Bluetooth address or IP address) will prevent your monitor from connecting.
