WAN Ethernet MAC — Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC
address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address of
the wireless AP/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 wireless AP/Router, then click the “MAC Clone.” (Default:
Original MAC)
Note: If you are unsure of the PC MAC address originally registered by your ISP, call
your ISP and request to register a new MAC address for your account. Register
the default MAC address of the wireless AP/Router.
• Original MAC – Specifies a preset MAC address to uniquely identify the unit.
• Manual Setting – Configures a specific MAC address to use for the WAN
connection.
• Set DNS Server – Allows manual or automatic selection of DNS severs.
• Primary DNS Server : The IP address of the Primary Domain Name Server on the
network. 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. If you have
one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP addresses in
the text fields provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
• Secondary DNS Server : The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server
on the network.
