A MAC address is a unique 12-digit hexadecimal number that identifies each network
device. A device’s MAC address always stays the same. It does not change the way
an IP address can.
• Use Default Address. Use the default AP MAC address that displays on the
Dashboard page and is on the AP label.
• Use Computer MAC Address. The AP captures and uses the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using to change the settings. Sometimes an ISP
allows the MAC address of a particular computer only.
• Use This MAC Address. Enter a MAC address that must be used. Sometimes an
ISP allows the MAC address of a particular computer only.
