MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They
accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router
to use your computer's MAC address (also called cloning).

and enter the IP address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a
secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
