MAC Address
The MAC (hardware) address is a low-level network identifier. It may be called "MAC Ad-
dress", "Hardware Address", or "Physical Address". On a PC, this address is associated with
the Network card or adapter. The address on the
MAC Address
screen is the address on the
Internet (WAN port) interface, and has no effect on the LAN interface.
•
If your ISP asks for the "Network Adapter Address", "Physical Address", "Hardware
Address", or "MAC Address" for the PC the DSL/Cable modem is connected to, provide
this value.
•
If your ISP has already recorded a MAC address, you can change the address used by the
Firewall Router to match the address recorded by your ISP.
