simultaneously, unlike Port Range Forwarding that can only forward a maximum of 10 ranges of ports.

MAC Address Clone
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature clones your PC network adapter's MAC address
onto the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the
Router's MAC address. The Router's MAC address is a 6-byte hexadecimal number assigned to a unique piece of
hardware for identification.
Mac Address Clone. Select Enabled or Disabled. The default is Enabled.

network adapter in the computer that you are using to connect to the Web-based utility.
