MAC Cloning:
The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware
for identification. Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of your network card/adapter,

address registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by following the instructions for your PC’s
operating system.
