Figure 23: DHCP Configuration

The following items are displayed on this page:

Hostname (Optional) — The hostname of the DHCP client.

Primary DNS Server — The IP address of the Primary Domain Name Server. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses. To specify a DNS server, type the IP addresses in the text field provided. Otherwise, leave the text field blank.

Secondary DNS Server — The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server.

MAC Clone — Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address of the Wireless Broadband Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address manually by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with the registered MAC address to the Wireless Broadband Router, then click the “Clone your PC’s MAC Address” (Default: Disable)

NOTE: If you are unsure of the PC MAC address originally registered by your ISP, call your ISP and request to register a new MAC address for your account. Register the default MAC address of the Wireless Broadband Router.
