That is the MAC address for that adapter. If you have more than one network adapter, you will need to look through the results to make sure you get the MAC address from the correct adapter. There will be a different one for your wired network adapter and your wireless one.

<h2> How to Filter MAC Addresses in Your Router </h2> The MAC address is a unique identifier for networking hardware, such as wireless network adapters. While it's possible to spoof the MAC address so an attacker can pretend to be an authorized user, no casual hacker or curious snooper will go to such lengths, so MAC filtering protects you from the majority of users. Refer to your owner&#39;s manual for the wireless network router or access point you are using to learn how to access the configuration and administration screens and enable and configure MAC address filtering to protect your wireless network.

For example, if you have a TP-Link router, you can follow the instructions on their website to configure wireless MAC address filtering. Some NETGEAR routers hold the setting in the ADVANCED &gt; Security &gt; Access Control screen. MAC filtering on a Comtrend AR-5381u router is done through the Wireless &gt; MAC Filter menu like you see here.
