devolo dLAN 550 WiFi
The MAC address designates the hardware in-
terface of each individual network device
uniquely (e.g. the Wi-Fi adapter of a computer
or the Ethernet port of a printer). It consists of
six double-digit hexadecimal numbers, each
separated by a colon (e.g. 00:0B:3B:37:9D:C4).
You can easily determine the MAC address of a Win-
dows computer by opening the window with the com-
mand prompt under Start All Programs
Accessories Command Prompt. Enter the com-
mand IPCONFIG /ALL here. The MAC address is dis-
played under the designation Physical address.
Keep in mind that you also have to
enter the Wi-Fi MAC address of your
own computer if you are connected
to the dLAN 550 WiFi not via the
Ethernet port, but via Wi-Fi. Other-
wise you will block your own access
to the device via Wi-Fi by activating
the Wi-Fi filter.
Save all modified settings before leaving this configu-
ration area again by pressing OK to confirm them.
