How to Find a Computer's MAC Address in Windows 11

Find the hardware/network address used by a Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.

Quick Answer

Open Command Prompt, run ipconfig /all, and look for Physical Address under the active adapter.

Step by Step

  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Type ipconfig /all and press Enter.
  3. Find the active Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.
  4. Look for Physical Address.
  5. Alternatively, use Settings → Network & internet → your connection → Hardware properties.

If That Doesn't Work

  • A computer can have several MAC addresses because each network adapter has its own.
  • Some devices use randomized/private Wi-Fi addresses, so the address seen by a router may differ in some situations.
