From the MACAddress Clone screen, shown in Figure 7-43, you can change
the Router’s WAN Mac Address.
The Router’s MAC addressis a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of
hardware for identification, like a social security number. If your ISP requires
MAC address registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by following the
instructions in “Appendix G: Finding the MACAddress and IP Address for
Your Ethernet Adapter.”
To define a MACaddress for the WAN port, click the first radio button next to
User Defined WANMAC Address, and enter the 12 digits of your adapter’s
MAC address in the on-screen fields. This “clones” your network adapter’s
MAC address onto the Router, so you do NOT have to call your ISP to change
the registered MAC address to the Router’s MAC address.
If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are CURRENTLY using
to configure the Router, then click the second radio button. The Router will
automatically detect your PC’s MAC address. It is recommended that the PC
registered with the ISP is used to open the MACAddress Clone page.
When finished making your changes on this screen, click the Applybutton and
then the Continue button to save these changes, or click the Cancelbutton to
undo your changes.
