Most users will also need to configure DNS server IP settings. Follow the instruction below to configure the Router to use Static IP Address assignment for the Internet connection.

To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button.

4.Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1500) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see table below for more information).
