MAC Address Cloning

Selecting

MAC Address Cloning

in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen

generates the “

MAC Address Cloning

” screen. A

MAC

(Media Access Control)

address is an identifier unique to every networkable device, including the Router.
Some

ISP

s require a

MAC

address to validate a computer’s permission to be on

their network. If the

ISP

requires this information, obtain the

MAC

address of the

computer originally configured for the

ISP

, then enter the

MAC

address in the

“User Select

WAN MAC

Address” text boxes in the

MAC

Address Cloning screen.

The Router will now have a new

MAC

address.
