Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have

a unique “serial number” called a MAC address� Your internet service

Provider may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter and

only let that particular computer connect to the internet service� When

you install the router, its own MAC address will be “seen” by the isP and

may cause the connection not to work� Belkin has provided the ability to

clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the router� This MAC

address, in turn, will be seen by the isP’s system as the original MAC

address and will allow the connection to work� if you are not sure whether

your isP needs to see the original MAC address, simply clone the MAC

address of the computer that was originally connected to the modem�

Cloning the address will not cause any problems with your network�

Cloning your MAC Address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer

that was OriGiNAllY CONNeCTeD to your modem before the router

was installed� Click the “Clone” button� Click “Apply Changes”� Your MAC

address is now cloned to the router�

Entering a Specific MAC Address
in certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address�

You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page� Type in a MAC

address in the spaces provided and click “Apply Changes” to save the

changes� The router’s WAN MAC address will now be changed to the

MAC address you specified�
