•Router's MAC Address. Each computer or router on your network has a unique 32-bit
local Ethernet address. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access
Control) address. The default is Use Default Address. However, if your ISP requires
MAC authentication, then select either
–Use this Computer’s MAC address to enable the VPN firewall to use the MAC
address of the computer you are now using, or
–Use This MAC Address to manually type in the MAC address that your ISP expects.
The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (numbers 0-9 and either
uppercase or lowercase letters A-F). If you select Use This MAC Address and then type
in a MAC address, your entry will be overwritten.
Additional WAN Related Configuration• If you want the ability to manage the VPN firewalll remotely, enable remote management at
this time (see “Enabling Remote Management Access” on page 6-14). If you enable remote
management, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you change your password (see
“Changing Passwords and Settings” on page 6-8).
• At this point, you can set up the traffic meter for each WAN, if desired. See “Enabling the
Traffic Meter” on page 6-27.
