Section 3 - Configuration

MAC address of the router is set to the MAC address of the WAN interface in the device. You can either type in an

alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or copy the MAC

address of a PC. To copy the MAC address of the computer that initially connected to the ISP, connect to the router using

that computer and click the

Clone Your PC’s MAC Address button. The WAN port will then use the MAC address of

the network adapter in your computer.

The IP address of the Domain Name Server. Your ISP will provide this information if it is required; otherwise, leave this

box set to 0.0.0.0.

When the the router detects that the WAN cable has been disconnected, it waits for “Link Drop Delay” seconds before

treating the WAN connection as broken. This delay allows you to temporarily remove the WAN cable without dropping

the logical connection to the ISP. It also allows for temporary electrical “glitches” in the physical connection. Values can

range from 0 to 65535 seconds. A value of zero causes immediate disconnection when the cable is pulled or when a

glitch occurs. Having to increase Link Drop Delay because you are experiencing WAN disconnections for long periods

would suggest a fault with the cable or with the modem (if any) to which it is connected.
