Physical/Software Access

If you own this networking device and you want to find its MAC address, it is better to use one of the following methods:

  • Find the MAC address by physically looking at the device. Many networking devices will have the MAC address imprinted on a sticker.
  • Use the built-in software to find it.

Client device cli commands to scan BSSIDs

Linux

$ sudo iwlist <YOUR WIRELESS INTERFACE> scan

macOS

$ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport /usr/local/bin/airport -s

Windows

$ netsh wlan show networks bssid
