MAC Address Clone

Figure 7-43

From the MAC Address Clone screen, shown in Figure 7-43, you can change the Router’s WAN Mac Address.

The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social security number. If your ISP requires MAC address registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by following the instructions in “Appendix G: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”

To define a MAC address for the WAN port, click the first radio button next to User Defined WAN MAC Address, and enter the 12 digits of your adapter’s MAC address in the on-screen fields. This “clones” your network adapter’s MAC address onto the Router, so you do NOT have to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router’s MAC address.

If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are CURRENTLY using to configure the Router, then click the second radio button. The Router will automatically detect your PC’s MAC address. It is recommended that the PC registered with the ISP is used to open the MAC Address Clone page.

When finished making your changes on this screen, click the Apply button and then the Continue button to save these changes, or click the Cancel button to undo your changes.
