Whether you're troubleshooting a network issue or connecting a new device, you'll sometimes need to find your network details, such as your IP address, MAC address, and DNS server. 


Here's how to locate this information on your devices.

The quickest way to find all your network details is in the Settings menu.

  1. Click the Start button and open Settings.

  2. Go to Network & internet.

  3. Click on the network you're connected to (either Wi-Fi or Ethernet).

  4. Select Hardware properties.


On this page, you'll find:

  • Physical address (MAC): This is your device's MAC address.

  • IPv4 address: This is your device's IP address.

  • IPv4 DNS servers: This shows the DNS servers your device is using.




macOS 


You can easily find your network information in System Settings.

  1. Click the Apple icon in the top-left corner and open System Settings.

  2. Select Network from the sidebar.

  3. Click on your active connection (e.g., Wi-Fi).

  4. Click the Details button.


In the window that appears:

  • The Wi-Fi or Ethernet tab will show your IP Address.

  • The Hardware tab will show your MAC Address.

  • The DNS tab will list your current DNS Servers.

To find your network details on an iPhone or iPad:

  1. Open the Settings app.

Finding network details on Android can vary slightly depending on your device's manufacturer, but the process is generally similar.
