How To Find Chromebook Mac Address?

Chromebook is a portable computer system. It is actually a personal computer and can be used for different purposes. Some people are only focusing on shopping and playing games while they are using it. They may not ever need the Chromebook Mac Address to find out their location, which means you may not even see the necessity of looking for the Chromebook Mac Address in the first place. When you use your Chromebook, it is necessary that you know how to get connected to the network or Wi-Fi so that you can access various websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more.

You don't always need the Mac address of any of your devices. This is why most people don't know the process of finding it. But sometimes you have to know the Mac address so that you can connect to different networks securely.

This is not different for a Chromebook. That’s why I have shown some methods for how to find Chromebook Mac address. Check out the methods below.

Finding Chromebook Mac Address Using Settings App

In this method, you can find the Mac address using the "Settings" App in your Chromebook. Note that you have to be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

1. Launch the “Settings” App (you can find it in the launcher or the app menu).
   
2. You will find the “Networks” button on the right sidebar when you launch the settings app.
   
3. Now you have to click on the connected Wi-Fi to open its settings.
   
4. In this menu, you will find a few sections one of which will be named “Network”. Click on that section to expand it.
   
5. When the Network section is expanded, you can scroll down and you will find the Chromebook Mac address below.
   

Finding Chromebook Mac Address Using the Browser

Now I am going to show you how to find the Chromebook Mac address using the browser. This is more complex than the previous method. But you can do it if you want anyways.
