Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses 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 modem router to use your computer’s MAC address (also called cloning).
Use the default MAC address.
Use Default Address
The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that
you are now using. You must use the one computer that is registered by the
ISP.
Use Computer MAC Address
Enter the MAC address that you want to use. By default, the field displays
the MAC address of the Internet port.
