What is the Gadget Network?

Clark's Gadget network is used to connect 'other' devices that can't use a browser to register with our network. such as:

• Gaming systems - XBox, Playstation, Switch, etc.

• Smart hubs - Amazon Dot; Echo; Show, Apple Homepod, Google Home, etc.

• Smart accessories - Wyze, Wemo, Hue, etc.

• TV streaming devices - Apple TV, Chromecast, Firestick, etc.

Locate your MAC address

Prior to registering your devices, you will need to locate the MAC address. These are often printed on the device themselves, or on the packaging.

A MAC address has the form of a 12 digit number, in pairs - and often separated by dashes or colons (for example - 2E:CC:88:41:A1:B6).
