Cable Modem

If you are using a cable modem, your ISP will automatically provide you with an IP address. Some ISPs may require that you fill in additional information, such as the Host Name and MAC Address. If your ISP does not require this information, click OK to complete the configuration.

Parameter	Description
Host Name	Enter the Host Name (if required).
MAC Address	Your ISP may be expecting the MAC address of the
	adapter you were using when you initially signed
	up with them. You can use the Clone button to copy
	the MAC address from the adapter and apply it to
	the router so that the ISP sees the MAC address it is
	expecting when you connect to the Internet. (You
	must be using the computer with the intial adapter
	for this to work) You should record this information
	so that you will not lose your ability to connect to
	the Internet if you lose your settings or no longer
	have the adapter. You can also use the Release and
	Renew buttons to apply your WAN IP address to
	the router. Press Release to clear the old IP address
	and press Renew to request a new address from
	your ISP.

When you are satisfied with your IP address settings, click the OK button. Congratulations! You have completed the basic router configuration required for a Cable Modem connection. You will be taken to the router’s Status page. You can click Logout to begin accessing the Internet.
