Go to the Settings option in the PS4 Dashboard. Then select Network from the list of options. Select the View Connection Status option. On the View Connection Status page you can find the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and the Mac Address. The IP address identifies a connection to a device in a network. On the other hand, Mac address identifies a device participating in a network. MAC address is 48 bits (6 bytes) hexadecimal address whereas, IP address has two versions, IPv4 a 32-bit address and IPv6 a 128-bit address. MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer of interface.
In any normal case, you won’t have to worry about your PS4 MAC address. If you pay for your own internet service, then your modem and router will do the work for you without much help. However, if you have to connect your device to a secured network while at college, at someone else’s house, or some places of business, then you will need some help. Here’s how to find the PS4 MAC address.

Connecting PS4 to The Internet
If you do need a website for the establishment that maintains the internet you are going to use, be sure to contact the administrator for that establishment. In a university, the tech department would have that information available to you.
If it’s a business, then you can more than likely ask either a receptionist or an employee for a link. In some cases, the company already has it set up for your computer browser to automatically be routed to the necessary website.
