1. Click Start and Run. In the Open field, enter cmd. Press the Enter key or click the OK button.
2. At the command prompt, enter ipconfig /all. Then press the Enter key.
3. Write down the Physical Address as shown on your computer screen; it is the MAC address for your Ethernet
adapter. This appears as a series of numbers and letters.
The MAC address/Physical Address is what you will use for MAC address cloning or MAC filtering.
Another screen will show the Ethernet adapter’s IP address. (Shown in the example as 192.168.1.100.) Your
computer may show something different.

For MAC address cloning, enter the 12-digit MAC address in the MAC Address fields provided, two digits per field.
For wireless MAC filtering, enter the 12-digit MAC address in this format, XXXXXXXXXXXX, WITHOUT the hyphens.
