How To Find Mac Address On Firestick?

Did you ever feel that FireStick just magically works using Wi-Fi? That’s because it is using a MAC address. FireStick allows you to view and modify your Mac address. Firestick has a distinct feature, which is not present in a Mobvoi or Android device. You can find Firestick MAC address online as well as offline. This article shows how Firestick stores its unique MAC Address for identifying itself on the internet.

If you want to connect your Firestick TV to a network securely, you will have to know its Mac address. For those who don’t know, the Mac (media access control) address is a hexadecimal number that is shown in the network adapter. It is also known as the hardware address or physical address.

Every device with network connectivity has a unique Mac address. However, finding the Mac address on Firestick is not an everyday thing for most of us. That’s why you may find it difficult. But don't worry. In this article, I will help you to learn different methods on how to find Mac addresses on Firestick.
