How to view the MAC address on a Droid Razr Maxx

Some networks use MAC address filtering as one layer of network security.  To join a network that uses MAC filtering, you'll need to know your device's MAC address.  On a Droid Razr Maxx smart phone, you can find your MAC address easily by following the steps below.

• Press the Settings button on your phone (the button with the three lines).  A short menu will appear; select System Settings.
• Scroll down until you see About Phone (it may be the last option) and select it.
• On the new menu that appears, select Status (toward the top).
• Scroll down until you see Wi-Fi MAC address.  The characters under that heading will be your phone's MAC address, broken down into pairs and separated by colons.

🛈 If your phone's MAC address shows as "Unavailable" or "Unknown," try turning on the Wi-Fi connection and then checking the MAC address again.
