MAC Address Clone

Each networking device has it's own unique MAC address defined by the hardware

manufacturer. Some ISP's may check your computer's MAC address. 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. This router has a different MAC address than the computer or

router that initially connected to the ISP. If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's

WAN-side Ethernet interface, 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 interface will

then use the MAC address of the network adapter in your computer.
