Hostname
Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your ISP
requests that you use a particular “Hostname”, enter it here.
Domain name
If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, it can be left
blank.
MAC Address
Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a
low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port.
Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a
particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.
You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into this
field, the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a value directly.

NAT
Enable NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) is the technology which allows all PCs
on your LAN to share the Internet IP address allocated to the WAN port on
this Router. From the Internet, all PCs appear to have the same IP
address.
For normal operation, this setting must be ENABLED.
Disable NAT
Disabling NAT will disable Internet access, unless all PCs have valid
Internet IP addresses.
If you wish to use this device for Routing ONLY (and NOT for Internet
access), then NAT should be disabled.
