The Setup Tab - MAC Address Clone

A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social security number. Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address currently registered with your ISP to the Router using the MAC Address Clone feature.

MAC Clone

To use MAC address cloning, select Enable. Otherwise, keep the default, Disable.

User Defined Entry. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP. Then click the Save Settings button.

Clone Your PC’s MAC. If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are currently using to configure the Router, then click the Clone Your PC’s MAC button. The Router will automatically detect your PC’s MAC address, so you do NOT have to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router’s MAC address. It is recommended that the PC registered with the ISP is used to open the MAC Address Clone screen.

When you have finished making changes to this screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes. For help information, click Help.
