The Setup Tab - MAC Address Clone
A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social security
number. Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet. If you do not wish
to re-register the MAC address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have currently registered with
your ISP to the Router with the MAC Address Clone feature.
MAC Clone
To use MAC address cloning, select
Enable
. Otherwise, keep the default,
Disable
.
MAC Address
. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP. Then click the
Save Settings
button.
Clone
. If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are currently using to configure the Router, then click
the
Clone
button. The Router will automatically detect your PC’s MAC address, so you do NOT have to call your
ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router’s MAC address. It is recommended that the PC registered
with the ISP is used to open the
MAC Address Clone
screen.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click the
Save Settings
button to save the changes, or
click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes. Help information is shown on the right-hand side of the
screen. For additional help, click
