Your MAC address is like an ID number which uniquely identifies your NBG318S. Some ISPs require MAC address authentication.

You can set how your MAC address appears to your ISP by selecting one of the following options in the screen.

•Select Factory Default to use the factory-assigned, default MAC address.

•Select Clone the Computer’s MAC Address to copy the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Type the IP address of the computer with the MAC address you are copying. It is advisable to copy the MAC address from a computer on your LAN even if your ISP does not presently require MAC address authentication.

•Select Set WAN MAC Address and enter the MAC address you want to.

3.4 Set Up Bandwidth Management

Bandwidth Management gives different priority settings to network traffic depending on how important the traffic is. For example, video requires a high priority while e-mail has a low priority.

Select Enable BM for all traffic automatically to have the NBG318S apply bandwidth management to traffic routed by the NBG318S. Click Next.
