Open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all and press Enter. The MAC address will show there as the "physical address" of the wireless adapter. -- Richard G.

If you do not have Administraive access to the router use the ""arp" command (research command options)..

I should explain more fully - ping the router (usually 192.168.1.1) then at the command prompt type arp -a. Richard and Joe are referring to the MAC of the adapter card - not the router.

If you want to know the MAC address of the router, then it's on physical label on the outside of the router somewhere in the area of the serial number that's on a label. |
