Cloned MAC Address

To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the

MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and then click this Clone

MAC Address button.

MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to

optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The

default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user
may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic

or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly

recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect

network traffic for better or worse.

NAT

Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-

down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer

to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and

disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router

is set up for multiple virtual connections.

Firewall

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features
available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure

settings in the Firewall Configuration window or Filters windows in the

Advanced directory.
