Setup Wizard
– 37 –
The Step 3 page of the Wizard specifies the Internet connection
parameters for the Mini Broadband Router’s WAN port. Click Next after
completing the setup.

The options are Static IP, DHCP (cable modem), PPPoE (DSL modem),
PPTP, and L2TP. Each option changes the parameters that are displayed on

Figure 17: Wizard Step 3 - WAN Settings - DHCP
The following items are displayed on this page:
WAN Connection Type
— Select the connection type for the WAN port
from the drop down list. (Default: DHCP)
Hostname
— Specifies the host name of the DHCP client.
Primary DNS Server
— The IP address of the Primary Domain Name
Server. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can
be used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP
addresses. To specify a DNS server, type the IP addresses in the text
field provided. Otherwise, leave the text field blank.
Secondary DNS Server
— The IP address of the Secondary Domain
Name Server.
MAC Clone
— Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC
address of one PC, which is registered with the ISP. This setting allows
you to manually change the MAC address of the Mini Broadband
Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address provided to your
ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address manually
by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with
the registered MAC address to the Mini Broadband Router, then click the
“Clone your PC’s MAC Address”. (Default: Disabled)
