| This is not always necessary, but may be required for some ISPs. Type in |
|
|
| the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter in the Cloned MAC |
|
|
| Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the |
|
| Cloned MAC Address | information to a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server used |
|
| for DHCP. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s |
| |
|
|
| |
|
| Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. If you want to later |
|
|
| replace the cloned MAC address with the factory default setting, type in all |

|
|
| optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The |

| default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user |
|
| MTU | may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or |
|
|
| when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly |
|
|
| recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect |
|
|
| network traffic for better or worse. |

|
|
| Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull- |
|
|
| down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows on a single computer |
|
| NAT | to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and |
|
|
| disable for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is |
|
|
| set up for multiple virtual connections. |

|
| settings in the Firewall or Filters menus in the Advanced directory. |
