How to find MAC address of iPad
For the average iPad user, there is no need to be familiar with or memorize your MAC address. It's not something you need to access regularly if at all. This number simply identifies your device on your local network.
For added security, some people may enable MAC address filtering on their wireless router. This allows only devices with specific MAC addresses to access the network. In this case, your network expert may ask you or confirm your MAC address to add it to the filter list. This is a situation when knowing where to find that address on your iPad is useful.
You may have opened the settings on your iPad to look for the MAC address only to come up empty handed. The thing to know is that it is not labeled as a "MAC" address, but instead a "Wi-Fi" address.
