7.5 | Advanced Setup - WAN
Dynamic IP
The cable modem option allows you to configure a host name and MAC Address. The Host Name
is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the WAN’s
physical interface on the Router. Use this address when registering for Internet service, and do
not change it unless required by your ISP. If your ISP used the MAC address of an Ethernet card
as an identifier when first setting up your broadband account, only connect the PC with the
registered MAC address to the Router and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will replace
the current Router MAC address with the already registered Ethernet card MAC address. If you
are unsure of which PC was originally set up by the broadband technician, call your ISP and
request that they register a new MAC address for your account. Register the default MAC address
of the Router.
