How to Find Your Smart TV MAC Address — Samsung, LG, Android TV

Whether you're setting up a new streaming app, troubleshooting your home network, or activating a media player like ROC Player, knowing your Smart TV's MAC address is often the very first thing you'll need. The problem? Every TV brand buries this information in a slightly different place.

In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through exactly how to find your MAC address on Samsung Smart TVs, LG TVs, Android TV devices, and Amazon FireStick — so you can get set up and streaming as fast as possible.

What Is a MAC Address and Why Does It Matter?

A MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a unique 12-character identifier assigned to every network-capable device. It looks something like this: A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6 — six pairs of letters and numbers separated by colons or hyphens.

Your Smart TV has at least two MAC addresses: one for its Wi-Fi connection and one for its wired Ethernet port. When activating apps or registering a device with a streaming service, you'll typically need the Wi-Fi MAC address if you're connected wirelessly.

Apps like ROC Player use your device's MAC address during the activation process to tie your license to your specific TV. When you Activate ROC Player, you'll be asked to enter this code — so it's important to get it right.

How to Find Your MAC Address on a Samsung Smart TV

Samsung's menu layout has changed slightly across different TV generations, but the steps below work for most models running Tizen OS (2016 and newer).

Samsung Tizen TVs (2016–Present)

Press the Home button on your Samsung remote.
Navigate to Settings (the gear icon in the top-right corner).
Scroll down and select General.
Choose Network.
Select Network Status or View Network Status.
Scroll down on this screen and look for MAC Address.

You should see both your IP address and your MAC address listed here. If your TV is connected via Wi-Fi, this will display your wireless MAC address.

Older Samsung TVs (Pre-2016)

Press Menu on your remote.
Go to Network → Network Status.
Your MAC address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

💡 Pro Tip: Take a photo of the MAC address screen with your phone before you close the menu. It's easy to misread or forget the string of characters when switching between screens on a new device setup.

How to Find Your MAC Address on an LG Smart TV

LG Smart TVs run webOS, and the interface is slightly different from Samsung's. Here's how to locate the MAC address on LG TVs running webOS 3.0 and above.

LG webOS TVs

Press the Settings button (the gear icon) on your LG Magic Remote, or press the three-dot menu button for older remotes.
Select All Settings at the bottom-right of the quick settings panel.
Navigate to Network.
Select Wi-Fi Connection (or Wired Connection if using Ethernet).
Click Advanced Wi-Fi Settings.
Your MAC Address will be displayed near the bottom of the list.

Alternative Method for LG TVs

On some LG TV models, you can find network information — including the MAC address — through a slightly different path:

Go to Settings → Support → TV Information
Or try Settings → About TV → Network Information

The exact label may vary slightly by firmware version, but you're always looking for a 12-character alphanumeric string in the network or status section.

How to Find Your MAC Address on Android TV

Android TV powers a wide range of devices — including Sony Bravia TVs, Philips TVs, Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, and many budget streaming boxes. Because it's a Google platform, the navigation is fairly consistent across brands.

Standard Android TV (Google TV included)

From the Android TV home screen, go to Settings (the gear icon).
Scroll down to Device Preferences (on some devices it may say About directly).
Select About.
Scroll down to find Wi-Fi MAC Address or Ethernet MAC Address.

Sony Bravia Android TV

Press Home, then go to Settings.
Select Device Preferences → About.
Choose Status.
Your Wi-Fi MAC Address will be listed here.

Once you have this address, you're ready to set up your streaming apps. ROC Player on Android TV makes it simple — just launch the app, note the MAC address shown on-screen, and use it to Activate ROC Player from any browser in seconds.

How to Find Your MAC Address on Amazon FireStick

Amazon FireStick and Fire TV devices also require a MAC address for app activation. Here's how to find it quickly:

From the Fire TV home screen, hover over Settings in the top navigation bar.
Select My Fire TV (or Device on older models).
Choose About.
Select Network.
Your Wi-Fi MAC Address will be displayed on this screen.

How to Find MAC Address on Windows PC

If you're running ROC Player on a Windows desktop or laptop, finding your MAC address takes just a few seconds:

Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
Type cmd and press Enter.
In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig /all and press Enter.
Look for your active network adapter (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and find the Physical Address — that's your MAC address.

Common Mistakes When Entering Your MAC Address

Getting the MAC address wrong is one of the most common reasons users run into activation errors. Here are a few things to watch out for:

Confusing O (letter) with 0 (zero): MAC addresses use hexadecimal characters (0–9 and A–F), so there is no letter O — it's always a zero.
Using the wrong MAC address: If your TV has both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, make sure you're using the MAC address that matches your current connection type.
Copying with formatting errors: Some systems display MAC addresses with dashes (A1-B2-C3) while others use colons (A1:B2:C3). Both refer to the same address — just enter the characters themselves without punctuation if the activation form requires it.
Reading the sticker instead of the menu: The MAC address printed on the back or bottom of your TV is usually accurate, but for software activations, always use the address shown in the TV's network settings menu.

What to Do After You Have Your MAC Address

Once you've found your Smart TV's MAC address, you're ready to start enjoying your streaming playlists. If you're using ROC Player, the process is straightforward:

Install ROC Player from your TV's app store (available on Android TV, FireStick, Samsung, LG, and Windows).
Launch the app — your MAC address will be displayed on the welcome screen.
Visit the activation page on any device and enter your MAC address to link your account.
Choose a plan that fits your needs — View Plans to see all available options.
Once activated, Upload Your Playlist (M3U or Xtream credentials) and start streaming instantly.
