Please follow the instructions below to find the MAC Address of your game console or streaming device.
A valid MAC Address will have the format of twelve hexadecimal numbers, generally separated by colons (e.g. 01:23:4D:67:B9:0A)
Please note, traditional consoles must use the wired MAC address. For handheld devices where a wired MAC address is not possible, please contact the helpdesk with your wireless MAC address ready and we will attempt to register the device for you.
