Description
The MAC Address is the 48-bit Ethernet address of the router's INTERNET port.
Set to Factory default to use the router's internal globally unique MAC address.
Set to 'IP address attached on LAN' to acquire and substitute the MAC address of
one of your PCs on the local network. Some ISPs will only accept traffic from the
MAC address of one PC. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that PC
by using its MAC address.
If you selected IP address attached on LAN in the previous field, you must specify
the IP address of the local PC with the MAC address to be used by the router.
