How do I find my MAC address to connect my devices to my InternetNow service?Connecting your gaming or streaming device to your InternetNow service is simple. You’ll need to enter your device MAC address into your InternetNow account settings.
Here’s how to find your MAC address.
Your device’s MAC address will need to be obtained from the device you wish to register on the ISU wired or wireless network.
Before You Begin
In order to connect your computer, game console, or smart TV to ISU’s network, the device must be registered by its unique MAC address in the ResNet Device Registration portal (wireless.ilinoisstate.edu). MAC addresses follow the format, XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, but will sometimes display as XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX or XXXXXXXXXXXX.
Instructions for finding the MAC address for some commonly used devices and operating systems are shown below. For devices not listed, we recommend you contact the manufacturer or visit the manufacturer's website for assistance.
Note: Gaming Consoles and smart TV's with Ethernet ports should instead be connected to the wired network via Ethernet cable, which provides a better experience for gamers (lower latency, faster speeds, and better multi-player compatibility).
Instructions for finding the wireless MAC address for some commonly used streaming and entertainment devices are shown below. For devices not listed, we recommend you contact the manufacturer or visit the manufacturer's website for assistance.

Nintendo game consoles do not come with built-in Ethernet adapters like the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation consoles, so you must connect them to the wired ResNet network via a USB Ethernet adapter. You must then determine the MAC address of the USB Ethernet adapter in order to register your Nintendo Wii or Wii U.
You can choose between the official Nintendo Wii USB LAN adapter or one made by a third-party manufacturer. If you purchase an official Nintendo LAN adapter, may automatically connect to ResNet when you plug it in. We recommend trying to connect your official Nintendo LAN adapter on your own to see if you can get a working connection. Be sure to switch your connection type to Wired under the Connection Settings menu. If you are unable to get a working network connection, or if you are using a 3rd party Ethernet adapter, you must determine the MAC address of the USB LAN adapter so you can register it in the Device Registration portal.

My USB LAN Adapter MAC Address is 00:00:00:00:00
If the MAC address for your USB LAN adapter is displayed as 00:00:00:00:00, you will need to take additional steps to determine the MAC address. A MAC address of all zeros is invalid and cannot be used on the wired ResNet network. This problem is most commonly associated with third-party USB LAN adapters. Two alternative methods for obtaining the MAC address for a USB LAN adapter are described below:
Finding the USB LAN Adapter MAC Address Using Windows
To find the MAC address of your USB LAN adapter using Windows, do the following:
Alternative Method
Connect your Nintendo Wii, or Wii U, and USB LAN adapter to a non-ResNet Ethernet port. You will also need to connect the Wii to a TV. By plugging the Nintendo Wii and USB LAN adapter into an Ethernet port that does not use ResNet, you can then go into Wii settings to determine the actual MAC address (as described in the section 'Find Your MAC Address for Nintendo Wii and Wii U' above). You may be able to request a Residential Computer Consultant (RCC) to assist with this.
