Section 3 - Configuration
Static IP Address
Static IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
MAC Address:
You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this information.
Used when your ISP provides you an IP address that does not change. The IP information is manually entered in your IP configuration settings.
When required, this value is provided by the ISP.
The MAC address is optional, but some ISPs may require it, in which case the MAC address of the router must equal the MAC address that is registered with your ISP account. Each networking device has its own unique MAC address defined by the hardware manufacturer. Some ISP’s record the MAC address of the network adapter in the computer or router used to initially connect to their service. The ISP will then only grant Internet access to requests from a computer or router with this particular MAC address. Your new router has a different MAC address than the computer or router that initially connected to the ISP. The default MAC address of the router is set to the MAC address of the WAN interface in the device.
