Configuring your WaN Media access Controller (MaC) address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have
a unique “serial number” called a MAC address . Your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter
and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service .
When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen” by the
ISP and may cause the connection not to work . Belkin has provided
the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the
Router . This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as
the original MAC address and will allow the connection to work . If you
are not sure whether your ISP needs to see the original MAC address,
simply clone the MAC address of the computer that was originally
connected to the modem . Cloning the address will not cause any
problems with your network .
Cloning your MaC address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer
that was ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router
was installed . Click the “Clone” button (1) . Click “Apply Changes” (3) .
Your MAC address is now cloned to the Router .
entering a specific MaC address
In certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address .
You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page . Type in a MAC
address in the spaces provided (2) and click “Apply Changes” (3) to
save the changes . The Router’s WAN MAC address will now be changed
to the MAC address you specified .
