How to Find Your MAC Address (IoT)

Body

 

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Randomized MAC addresses are NOT supported on the NU-IoT network. You must disable MAC address randomization on your device before registration. If your device randomly changes its MAC address, network registration will fail. Check your device settings to ensure MAC address randomization is turned off before attempting to register.

Note: There are many different versions of devices. If you cannot find the MAC address using these instructions, check your user manual or search for instructions online for your specific model.
