Section 3 - Configuration

Static IP Address

You must enter the

IP address, Subnet

Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and

Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides

you with all of this information.

Used when your ISP provides you an IP

address that does not change. The IP

information is manually entered in your IP

configuration settings.

When required, this value is provided by the

ISP.

The MAC address is optional, but some

ISPs may require it, in which case the MAC

address of the router must equal the MAC

address that is registered with your ISP

account. Each networking device has its

own unique MAC address defined by the

hardware manufacturer. Some ISP’s record

the MAC address of the network adapter

in the computer or router used to initially

connect to their service. The ISP will then

only grant Internet access to requests from

a computer or router with this particular MAC

address. Your new router has a different

MAC address than the computer or router

that initially connected to the ISP. The default

MAC address of the router is set to the MAC

address of the WAN interface in the device.
