How do I find the MAC address of iPhone BEFORE initial set up

I have just bought a new iPhone SE 2nd gen, and need to know how to get the MAC address of this before I turn on and set up the phone. It is not displayed on the box. Reason being is that I have to enter the MAC address of a device on my WiFi account BEFORE a device can then connect to it.

I need to set up with wifi as I need to set the phone up with my iCloud back up.

I have searched the internet all day and cannot seem to find a solution. Please can someone help?

iPhone SE

I am not aware of any way to find that before you activate the device. Is this your home internet that you have MAC address filtering turned on for? Do you have a computer that you can connect to with iTunes to set it up as a new device, not from a backup and then wipe it and restore from your iCloud? If it is your home internet, can you temporarily disabled MAC Address filtering?
