System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable)
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.
The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer
before you can access it. The NBG-418N uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve
domain names for DDNS and the time server.

3.4.9 WAN MAC Address

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
This screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the NBG-418N's
MAC address, copying the MAC address of the computer from which you are configuring the NBG-
418N or manually entering a MAC address. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be
copied to configuration file. It is advisable to clone the MAC address from a computer on your LAN
even if your ISP does not presently require MAC address authentication.
