Cable Modem
If you are using a cable modem, your ISP will automatically provide you with an IP
address. Some ISPs may require that you fill in additional information, such as the Host
Name and MAC Address. If your ISP does not require this information, click OK to
complete the configuration.
When you are satisfied with your IP address settings, click the OK button.
Congratulations!
You have completed the basic router configuration required for a Cable
Modem connection. You will be taken to the router’s Status page. You can click Logout
to begin accessing the Internet.
Parameter Description
Host Name Enter the Host Name (if required).
MAC Address Your ISP may be expecting the MAC address of the
adapter you were using when you initially signed
up with them. You can use the Clone button to copy
the MAC address from the adapter and apply it to
the router so that the ISP sees the MAC address it is
expecting when you connect to the Internet. (You
must be using the computer with the intial adapter
for this to work) You should record this information
so that you will not lose your ability to connect to
the Internet if you lose your settings or no longer
have the adapter. You can also use the Release and
Renew
buttons to apply your WAN IP address to
the router. Press Release to clear the old IP address
and press Renew to request a new address from
your ISP.
