How to clone a MAC address
On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access
Control) address Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a
router or a computer) connected directly to the modem If your computer’s
MAC address is registered with your ISP and you do not want to re-register
the MAC address, then you can clone the address (assign the registered MAC
address of your previous device to your new router) If you want to use the
MAC address from an old router that you are replacing with your new router,
you should first determine the MAC address of your old router, then manually
enter it into your new router
NOTE
For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, the
stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you reset the
modem If you are installing this router for the first time, reset your
modem before connecting the router to your modem To reset your
modem, disconnect power for about one minute, then reconnect
power
To clone a MAC address from your computer:
Setup > MAC Address Clone
1. Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 14)
2. Click the Setup tab, then click the MAC Address Clone page
3. Click Enabled
4. Click either Clone My PC’s MAC or enter the 12-digit MAC address of
your old router
