Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Finding the webmite MAC address

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I have searched the forum, and the Webmite manual without any luck. I need to find the MAC address of the Pico W as my wireless AP has media access control enabled for security, so I have to assign the MAC address and give it an IP address (no DHCP allowed) before the device can connect to WiFi. Obviously, I could use my phone as a wifi hotspot, then connect the Pico W to the phone, look up it's mac address on the phone, but I am sure there must be some way to get it from the console? mm.info(mac address) or something like that ? Anyone ever done it and if so how? Tony |

I cannot see anything obvious. My usual method is to fire up, wireshark and sniff the packets. Andy |

If your router/AP has a logfile you may see the failed connect request with the MAC address. 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Try pinging it from your PC and list your ARP cache in a terminal. Can't remember the windows syntax sorry..did not read carefully..I don't know yet Try: MM.INFO(TCPIP STATUS) Edited 2025-05-16 04:47 by dddns |

MM.Info(ID) is the serial number, not the MAC  If it is not in the AP logs, 58kk90 will have to get it the way mentioned in his first post. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks to everyone who replied, I had assumed it would be something that there was a specific command that would obtain the MAC address. As there was a time constraint in that I needed to test the idea, I used the method I mentioned in my opening post, that gave me the MAC address on the mobile phone hotspot, I then put it on a sticker and stuck it on the Pico W, I was then able to assign it an IP and get it on my wirelss AP. Perhaps something Peter could consider for the next release, something like mm.info(MAC) as I am sure that other people could have the same issue at some point.
