changing the MAC address that is registered with the ISP, follow these
instructions:
1 In the Cloned WAN MAC Address row, click Enable.
2 Enter a MAC address or click one of the Learned MAC addresses
and click Apply.
3 After restarting the unit, the router will present the MAC address to
the ISP you have entered here.
4 Deselect Enable to return to the default MAC address.
