ISP assigned for static IP address service. The gateway is the ISP router to
which your modem router connects.

ISP assigned for IPoA service. The gateway is the ISP router to which your
modem router connects.

to the modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP
address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC
address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept
traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your
computer’s MAC address (also called cloning).
Use Default Address Use the default MAC address.
Use Computer MAC Address The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer
that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is allowed by
the ISP.
