So, let’s get started! It’s a breeze, I promise.

Next, open a web browser on your companion device and head over to the Amazon website. Sign in with your Amazon account, so they know it’s really you. Once you’re in, go to the “Manage Your Content and Devices” page. It’s like a hub for all your Amazon devices.

On the top of the page, you’ll see three tabs: “Your Content,” “Your Devices,” and “Settings.” Click on the “Devices” tab. Now, you will see a list of all your registered devices. Find your Echo on the list – it’ll have an Echo logo to help you spot it.

Here comes the fun part! Look for a column that says “Serial Number.” Right below it, you’ll find the MAC address. It’s a string of numbers and letters separated by colons. This is your Echo’s unique identifier. Pretty cool, right?

But hey, I know it’s a lot to take in. If you’re still not sure where to find the MAC address, don’t worry! You can also locate it on the bottom of your Echo. Just flip it over gently, and you’ll see a sticker with the MAC address printed on it. Easy peasy!

Now that you have your Echo’s MAC address, you can use it for various things. For example, you can filter your Wi-Fi, so only your Echo can access it. It’s like giving your Echo VIP treatment!

So there you have it! You’re now a master at finding the MAC address of your Amazon Echo. I hope this guide made it as clear as day for you. If you have any more questions, you know where to find me. Happy Echo-ing!

So you’ve set up a MAC filter for your Wi-Fi network to keep unwanted people out. This means that you have to manually allow a device’s MAC address so it can connect to your Wi-Fi. So, if you have a new Echo and want to connect it to your home Wi-Fi, you need to find its MAC address. But how can you do that?

First, let’s understand what a MAC address is. A MAC address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number assigned to every device connected to a network. You can usually find the unique hardware MAC address of a device printed on its network interface card (NIC). Keep in mind that a device may have more than one MAC address if it has multiple network interfaces. For example, if your computer has Ethernet and Wi-Fi, it will display two MAC addresses.

Now, let’s talk about finding the MAC address of your Amazon Echo. There are a few different methods you can use, such as using the Alexa app or checking the device’s original packaging.

If your Alexa is already set up, you can use the Alexa app on your phone to find its MAC address. Here’s how you do it:

1. Launch the Alexa app on your phone and go to the Devices tab at the bottom.

2. Select your Echo device from the list of devices.

3. Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner.

4. Scroll down and select About.

5. Under the About section, you will see the MAC Address along with the software version and other details.

But what if you haven’t connected your Echo device to a Wi-Fi network yet and you’re unable to access the Alexa app? Don’t worry, you can still find the MAC address using the device’s original packaging. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Locate the original packaging of your Echo device.

2. Look for a label or sticker on the packaging that displays the MAC address.

3. The MAC address will be a series of characters, usually located near the barcode or product information.

By following these methods, you should be able to find the MAC address of your Amazon Echo, whether you use the Alexa app or check the original packaging.

Hey there! So, at the bottom of that box, you’ll find two barcodes. Now, the smaller one is the important one for us. It should have twelve characters underneath the DSN number, which is essentially your Echo’s MAC address. Pretty cool, right? If you don’t have the box with you, don’t worry. I suggest reaching out to Amazon support. They’ll be able to help you find your Echo’s MAC address.
