Your device's MAC address (all uppercase “MAC”: not to be confused with Apple's “Mac” branding,) is a device identifier related to networking. A MAC address is required for registering devices on the “ONU-IoT"” ONU Wi-Fi network, but locating this identifier can vary widely by device and manufacturer.
