Body
All devices that can connect to the internet have a MAC address (aka physical or hardware). You may need to find one when registering to our york-connect network. Each consists of 12 characters (letters and numbers) in 6 pairs.
Examples: 5F:03:A7:BE:19:F2 or 5F-03-A7-BE-19-F2
There are two primary types.
Wireless MAC address (aka Wi-Fi, WLAN)
- This is the most common, and what you may need when connecting your device via Wi-Fi.
Wired MAC address (aka local, LAN, ID)
- This is what you may need when connecting your device via a wire (in our case, an ethernet cable).
Find a MAC address
Terms and steps may vary, based on your device manufacturer or model. We recommend searching for the model of your device or checking the manual for steps on locating your MAC address. If you have any trouble, please contact us.
