how to find/display MAC address of the WLAN for Nokia 5800. when setup WLAN for Nokia 5800, if you use MAC address filtering on your router, you need to enter MAC address of the phone. there are two ways to display MAC address for Nokia 5800.

Firstly find a router that you have control over like a DLINK or something like that. Next configure your NOKIA 5800 PHONE to connect to the router and check it’s assigned IP address from the router. Leave it connected. then open a command window on your Windows PC and ping the IP address. Enter command ‘arp -a’ will show you the MAC address.

another simple way to find MAC address for Nokia 5800 is to “dial” *#62209526# (mnemonic: *#MAC WLAN#)) to have it displayed.
