How to find MAC Address on Yamaha-Yas109 Sound Bar?

The internet in my apartment is "shared" meaning the whole community uses it. Therefore they have it set up to where you have to add individual MAC addresses in to anything that uses WIFI for it to connect. I can't for the life of me find the MAC address for my sound bar. I looked on the sound bar itself and it is not listed and it's not in any of the instruction manuals.

    This device most certainly has three mac addresses.  One for bluetooth, one for WiFi( (2.4 GHz only) and one for Ethernet. 

    For WiFi, grab the manual and go to page 20.  (I looked it up as the manual is here https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets...

    Basically, install the app on your phone.  It can find the WiFi the unit puts out.  Somewhere in there should be the WiFi mac address.

    I believe you need the app to get it.  The app either uses bluetooth or some open boot protocol to initially connect, because you don't have to setup wifi BEFORE you use the app, because the app is how to configure wifi.

    I think it probably uses open wifi but something like jumpstart/bootpc protocol to get the first network connection.  If it were bluetooth the instructions to pair would be in the manual.

    Usually mac address is on the label of the device.
