How do I locate the wireless MAC Address on my computer?

The MAC Address, or media access control address, is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment.

On a Windows 7 PC:

Click on the Start button and then in the text box just above the Start button which looks like this.. [Search programs and files].

Type cmd into that text box and hit ENTER.

cmd opens the Command Prompt, or cmd.exe. It is also referred to as a "Dos Box."

Type ipconfig /all into the command prompt and hit ENTER.

This opens the command IPCONFIG (Internet Protocol Configuration) which displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values.
