The Setup Tab - MAC Address Clone

A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have currently registered with your ISP to the Router with the MAC Address Clone feature.

Enable/Disable. To have the MAC Address cloned, click the radio button beside Enable.

User Defined Entry. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP here.

Clone Your PC’s MAC Address. Clicking this button will clone the MAC address.

Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
