MAC Address Overview:
❏This address is a low-level network identifier for
this device. It may be called “MAC Address”,
“Hardware Address”, or “Physical Address”. On a
PC, this address is associated with the Network
card or adapter.
❏The address here in on the WAN (Internet) port,
and has no effect on the LAN interface.
❏If your ISP asks for the Network Adapter
Address, Physical Address, Hardware Address, or
MAC Address for the PC the DSL/Cable modem
is connected to, provide this value.
❏If your ISP has already recorded a MAC address,
you can change the address used by the
AT-WA1004G to match the address recorded by
your ISP.
❏If the address is changed, the router must
restart.
Changing the MAC address:
❏You can enter the desired MAC address directly.
❏Click the “Default” button to insert the default
MAC address into the address field. You must
click “Save” to actually change the address used.
❏Click the “Copy from PC” button to copy the
MAC address from your PC (actually, the
network adapter on your PC) to the address
field. You must click “Save” to actually change
the address used.
❏If your ISP has recorded a Hardware Address,
you can “spoof” that address by entering it in
the address field. The hardware address consists
of 12 HEX characters, where each character is a
digit (0..9) or a character between A and F.
