A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social security
number. Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet. If you do not wish
to re-register the MAC address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have currently registered with
your ISP to the Router with the MAC Address Clone feature.

To use MAC address cloning, select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.
MAC Address. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP.
Clone My PC's MAC. If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are currently using to configure the
Router, then click this button. The Router will automatically detect your PC's MAC address, so you do NOT have to
call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router's MAC address. It is recommended that the PC
registered with the ISP is used to open the MAC Address Clone screen.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes, or
click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes. For more information, click Help.
