Chapter 2: Networking

USB-connected PC to make them look Ethernet-style when passed between you and your cable company. To do this, the gateway must effectively “loan” an Ethernet-style address for use in all these packets. For this purpose, the gateway uses a MAC address of MAC label + 5 (the MAC label is found on the bottom of the unit). E.g., if the MAC address is 00:90:64:12:B1:91, this MAC address would be 00: 90:64:12:B1:96.

The ones actually used depend upon your gateway Operating Mode, as explained above. At minimum, your cable company will need to know the MAC address associated with IP Stack 1, which is the MAC address shown on the modem label.
