How to find your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth address

A Wi-Fi or Bluetooth address is a unique 12 digit identifier that is also commonly called a MAC (Media Access Control) address or network name:

e.g. 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 01:23:45:67:89:ab

A MAC address is unique to your device and is stored in your device's networking hardware by the device manufacturer. It allows your device to connect to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless networks.
