How To Find MAC Address Of Android Mobile/Tablet For Wi-Fi Access

If you don't know how to get MAC address of your Android mobile or tablet then I guess your are in a right place as I am here to guide you. Many of you use your Android mobile or tablet to connect to Internet using wi-fi. To improve your wi-fi network security you want to enable MAC address filtering. But if you have enabled MAC address filtering in your router then you need to provide your MAC address of your Android device. So you need to get the MAC address of your device to keep accessing Internet safely. Now we will not go more deeper and lets talk about the procedure to get the MAC address of your Android device.

 
Just follow the steps given below to find the MAC address of your Android mobile or Tablet :-

1. From the Android Home Screen, click the Menu Button and then go to Settings.

2. From the Settings Page, scroll down to bottom of the page. There you will find About Phone/Tablet section and open it.

3. Now select Status section on the About Phone/Tablet page.

4. You can find your device's MAC address from the Wi-Fi MAC address section. Note it down.

Now you can enter the MAC address of your Android device on the MAC address Filtering page of your Wi-Fi router. After entering everything correctly you are ready to access the Internet. So I think you found it very easy to get the MAC address of your Android Phone/Tablet.
