Modified on Wed, 31 Jan 2024 at 01:00 AM

Every device connected to your home network has a unique MAC address. If your computer has multiple network adapters (for example, an Ethernet adapter and a wireless adapter), each adapter has its own MAC address.

You can block or allow service to a specific device if you know its MAC address.
