Steps to Add a New Device

To add a new device to your MY Devices listing you will need to know the MAC address of your device. To locate your MAC address for all major devices please see: How do I find the MAC address of my specific device?
 
MAC addresses are represented as a set of 6 pairs of letters and numbers, separated by colons (ex. AA:BB:CC:11:22:33). We recommend checking manufacturers’ websites to learn how to obtain MAC addresses for particular devices.
 
  1. Navigate to My Devices Portal > Manage Devices and select Add.
