From time to time, especially when trying to attach a network device to the network, you may be asked to provide a MAC Address (also known as Media Access Control Address). A MAC Address is a static, or non-changing, code that is used to identify your device on the network. The format is six groups of two digits each, usually separated by hyphens or colons, such as 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 01:23:45:67:89:ab. Note that MAC Addresses only use the characters A-F or a-f and the numbers 0-9.

Next, maybe you want to get Alexa's help with nearby restaurants, weather reports, and other local information. Your Echo doesn't know where it is, so you need to manually change its location setting.

Instructions here are provided to the best of our knowledge; because software and hardware instructions change without notice, when in doubt check your user manual or manufacturer's website for support and instructions. You may also wish to use a Google search. Try searching for the make and model of your device and the phrase 'mac address'.
