•MAC Clone. Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. From this screen, you can “clone” your network adapter's MAC address onto the Router. This prevents you from having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router's MAC address.

•DDNS. DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service, on this screen, allows you to assign a fixed domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. This allows you to host your own Web, FTP or other type of TCP/IP server in your network.

•Advanced Routing. The Router's dynamic routing feature can be set up on this screen to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout.

•Diagnostic. From this screen, you can use the Router’s two built-in tools to troubleshoot network problems.

•Factory Default. The “Factory Default” button on this screen can be used to clear all of your configuration information and restore the Router to its factory default settings. Only use this feature if you wish to discard all other configuration preferences.

•Firmware Upgrade. Users can use the function on this screen to upgrade the Router’s firmware to the newest version.

•Restart. The recommended method of restarting your Router is to use the “Restart Router” button on this screen. Restarting with this button will send out your log file before the box is reset.

•Setting Backup. This screen allows you to make or import a backup file of your Preferences file for the Router.
