A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like
a social security number. Some ISPs 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.
