WAN MAC address, if required by your ISP. When you have finished making
settings, the "Internet Status" indicator will read "Connected" if your Router is set
up properly.
Setting your Connection Type
From the "Connection Type" page, you can select the type of connection you use.
Select the type of connection you use by clicking the button (1) next to your
connection type and then clicking "Next" (2).
Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type used with cable
modems. Setting the connection type to "dynamic" in many cases is enough to
complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types may
require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if you
were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic
connections may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was
originally connected to the modem.
Change WAN MAC Address
If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the service, you
can enter a specific MAC address or clone the current computer's MAC
address through this link.
Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Static IP
A static IP address connection type is less common than other connection types.
If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will need your IP address (1), subnet
mask (2), and ISP gateway address (3). This information is available from your
ISP or on the paperwork that your ISP left with you. Type in your information,
then click "Apply Changes". After you apply the changes, the "Internet Status"
indicator will read "Connected" if your Router is set up properly.
