Click start-run, type CMD, then enter. At the prompt, type ipconfig /all.
The SSID is in the setup for the router - access using a browser (in the ipconfig it'll be the gateway address). That is, http:// 192.168.0.1 (or whatever your gateway address is).
That is normal as Ethernet and wireless are treated as two separate adapters. So they will not be the same. So depending on which one you intend to use you should set your MAC filtering to include both addresses.
Thank you, ejn. If you can help, one more dumb question. On my router admin page I have a LAN/WLAN Mac address (in the LAN setting area) and a WAN MAC address (in the Internet Settings area). They are different. Do you know if they should be the same? My internet is working OK just want to check. Many thanks.
