network device to the Router.

The MAC address to be registered with 

your Internet service provider. 

—

Clone MAC Address:

 Register your PC's MAC address. 

—

Restore Default MAC Address: 

Restore to the default 

hardware MAC address. 

5.4 DNS Settings 

DNS is short for Domain Name System (or Service), an 

Internet service that translates domain names into IP 

addresses which are provided by your Internet Service 

Provider. Please consult your Internet Service Provider for 

details if you do not have them.
