Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address that the router uses on the Internet port.

your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer.
This feature allows your router to use your computer's MAC address (also called cloning).
• Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Computer MAC Address. The router captures and uses the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using. You have to use the one computer that the ISP allows.

Basic Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.
The router comes with preset security. This means that the Wi-Fi network name (SSID),
network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.
You can find the preset SSID and password on the bottom of the unit.
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and
maximize your wireless security.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security
your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place
where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless
security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a
computer with a wired connection to access the router.
