Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a low-level network identifier, as

 

seen from the WAN port.

the computer's address into this field. This is only necessary if the computer’s MAC address has been

 

recorded.

 

Use the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a value directly, if desired.

 

Note: To avoid problems regarding the MAC address, do NOT swap the LAN/WAN connection
