If your Internet Service Provider used the MAC address of one of
your PC's for registration when setting up your Internet access,
only connect the PC with the registered MAC address to the router
and click on
Clone MAC Address
. This will replace the router's cur-
rent MAC address by the already registered MAC address of the PC.
If you are not sure which PC was used as the identifier, have your
Internet Service Provider register a new MAC address for your
account. Then use this MAC address for the router.

Remember that configuration saves the access data for your WAN con-
nection in the router. Before passing your router on to somebody else or
having your dealer replace it, you should first restore the factory settings.
Otherwise unauthorised persons may use your Internet access data at
your expense. Turn to page 103 to find out how to reset your router.
