MAC (Ethernet) Addresses
A MAC address is a hardware code that uniquely identifies your device on an Ethernet network. To connect to the LUNA network, your device's MAC address needs to be registered with the network. Please follow the instructions below to find the MAC Address of your game console or streaming device.
A valid MAC Address will have the format of twelve hexadecimal numbers, generally separated by colons (e.g. 01:23:4D:67:B9:0A)
If you don't find your device here, or if the instructions don't work for you, try googling your device with the text "mac address."
