MAC Addresses of CG814M Gateway and PC: If you have existing cable internet service and are replacing your cable modem you may need to notify your cable service provider of the MAC Address (often called Hardware Address) and/or Device Address of your CG814M Gateway. The Device Address is the equivalent of a PC behind the cable modem, and can be “cloned”. Cloning allows you to specify the MAC address of the packets the gateway sends to the internet. If you clone the MAC Address of your PC you will not have to register the Device Address of your gateway.
