MAC Lookup

Use the MAC Lookup tool to recognize a device's brand, type and model from just its MAC address.  This can be helpful if you are trying to locate or perform diagnostics on a specific device. 

What is a MAC address?

MAC address stands for Media Access Control address. It is a unique identifier for devices connected to a given network – either Wi-Fi or Ethernet – and it is usually assigned from the device’s manufacturer. This is why MAC addresses are primarily used to accurately identify hardware and devices of a home or office network.

Here is an example of the output of the MAC Lookup tool.  Note: This feature is only available on Fing Desktop.
