My home network has a MAC filter, so I need to know the MAC address of this particular echo dot. I have nearly 30 smart devices connected to my router and I do not have the luxury of turning off one by one and to check. Also I can not turn off this echo dot.

I tried with this Android app call 'fing', but couldn't find. But I found a device with MAC vendor call 'Espressif'.

Asking Alexa 'what is your MAC address' did not work.

Is there a way that I can find MAC address or at least MAC vendor of echo dot?

  1. MAC vendor info is actually part of MAC address (check out on wikipedia_link)

  2. If you have any laptop/PC/Mac attached to the network try to discover it by typing simple command in command prompt/shell [ arp -a ]

  3. You can use wireshark network sniffer.

  4. There is list of sniffers on Insecure.Org web. One of tools which can be used is [nmap]

    [nmap -sP 172.16.30.0/24]

This will give you detailed MAC report, for example:

MAC Address: 00:15:99:95:16:EE (Samsung Electronics Co.)
Nmap scan report for host1.x.com (172.16.30.x)

MAC Address: E4:1F:13:3F:99:24 (IBM)
Nmap scan report for host2.x.com (172.16.30.y)

MAC Address: 50:E5:49:81:45:DA (Giga-byte Technology Co.)
Nmap scan report for 172.16.30.z

Since you asked Alexa for its MAC address, I would assume it is or has been connected to the internet.

Log in to your account at alexa.amazon.com, go to "Settings" > [your Dot] under "Devices", and at the bottom under "About" you will find the MAC address of your device.

You can open up a browser, go to Alexa.Amazon.com and login to your Echo.

Then go to Settings and Select your device.

Scroll all the way down to About:
