address that your ISP assigned to you. The gateway is the ISP router to which
your router connects.

enter the IP address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
•
Router MAC Address
. The Ethernet MAC address used by the router on the Internet
port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC
address of that computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC
address (this situation is also called spoofing or cloning). Select one of the following
radio buttons:
-
Use Default Address
. Use the default MAC address.
-
Use Computer MAC Address
. The router captures and uses the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using to configure the router. To configure the
router, use the computer that is registered with the ISP.

Use This MAC Address
. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
