What Is MAC Address?
A unique hardware identifier of a network device, distinct from its IP address.
A MAC address is unique to every physical network device (e.g. a Wi-Fi card) and is assigned by the manufacturer. Unlike an IP, the MAC address does not change when you connect to a different network, which can be used to track devices at a local level.
