MAC Address for mini pc miners

Find your MAC Address on Windows (10 & 11)

Common mistakes (please read)

  • Wi-Fi and Ethernet have different MAC addresses. Register the one you actually use.

  • If you see multiple adapters (VPN, VirtualBox, etc.), ignore those and use Wi-Fi or Ethernet only.

  • Some devices show Private/Random MAC for Wi-Fi. If your registration fails, see the note below.

If you’re using Wi-Fi: Disable “Random hardware addresses” (Windows 11/10)

Sometimes Windows uses a rotating “private” MAC address. If the MAC keeps changing, turn it off:

  1. Settings → Network & internet → Wi-Fi

  2. Click your connected Wi-Fi network

  3. Find Random hardware addresses / Private address

  4. Set it to Off

  5. Re-check your Physical address (MAC) and use that for registration
