Anyone know how I find my MAC number for my WiFi on the Dish Hopper? I looked under Internet settings but it is not there. Thanks.

DISH Network Hopper DHCP Issue • Chris Colotti's Blog

I found an interesting DHCP dependency with the way the DISH Network Hopper and Joey's work when I lost my internet router. Check this out!

Should be in the Network Settings tab

There are some mobile apps that can scan your network and come up with MAC addresses. Android has more options than Apple due to network security settings on IOS devices. It's possible its also on one of the labels attached to the case of the hopper

If you know the IP address, and if it's online, then you can from a command line ping the device's IP address:
"ping 192.168.0.3"
you should see it respond.
Then type
"arp -a"
and you should see it's MAC address from the list of IP addresses.

why do you need the MAC address?
You should also be able to see the MAC from the router's DHCP Server list.

I'm not sure what you need it for but you may want to call Dish. I can only speak for my wally box but I think if you press menu or home 2 or 3 times it shows a screen with all kinds of details such as that.

Neal is correct!
Pressing the "Home" key, three times will display all of the details!!
Good Luck!

You are going to find that the exact navigation depends on the Make / Model of the Dish receiver and firmware version. But this type of information is normally shared in the networking details.
