If your Internet Service Provider used the MAC address of one of your PC's for registration when setting up your Internet access, only connect the PC with the registered MAC address to the router and click on Clone MAC Address. This will replace the router's current MAC address by the already registered MAC address of the PC. If you are not sure which PC was used as the identifier, have your Internet Service Provider register a new MAC address for your account. Then use this MAC address for the router.

◆Once you have entered the access data and parameters, launch the connection test by clicking on Test.
