MAC Configuration

Generally, the MAC address does not need to be changed. However, in some particular
situations, you may need to change the MAC address of the WAN port or LAN port.
 Configure the MAC Address of the WAN port
In the condition that your ISP has bound the account to the MAC address of the dial-up
device, if you want to replace the dial-up device with this router, you can just set the MAC
address of this router's WAN port as the same as that of the previous dial-up device for a
normal internet connection.
 Configure the MAC Address of the LAN port
In a complex network with all the devices are ARP bound , if you want to replace the current
router with this router, you can just set the MAC address of this router's LAN port as the
same as that of the previous router, which can avoid all the devices under this network
node to update their ARP binding tables.
