Setup Tab - MAC Clone

Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address, which is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of

hardware for identification. The MAC Clone feature “clones” your network adapter's MAC address onto the

Router, so you don’t have to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router's MAC address.

The MAC Clone table displays the number of WAN ports you have configured on the Network or Port Management

screen. Their MAC addresses are shown in the MAC Address column. Click the Edit in the Config. column to edit

the MAC Clone setting of the selected WAN port. A new screen will appear.

In the Interface field, the WAN port number is displayed. To manually clone a MAC address, select User Defined

WAN MAC Address, and then enter the 12 digits of your adapter’s MAC address. If you want to clone the MAC

address of the PC you are currently using to configure the Router, then select MAC Address from this PC.

Click the Save Settings button to save your changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.

Click the Back button to return to the previous page if you want to configure the other WAN ports.
