The Media Access Control address, or MAC address for short, is different for every Internet-enabled device. For example, depending on the router settings, the devices must first be activated. The only way to identify it is then the unique MAC address of the respective device. The MAC address is the address of a single network adapter. It can thus be specifically identified.

In contrast to an IP address, a MAC address is specified by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. It was physically burned into the network card. An IP address, on the other hand, is a digital address. This is assigned by the router for each device in the network and can also be changed manually. In this article we will explain how to determine your IP address.
