MAC Cloning

The Wireless router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of your network card/adapter, which was connected to your cable or DSL modem during installation. If your ISP requires MAC address registration, find your wireless router’s MAC address by following the instructions for your PC’s operating system.
