NAT allows computers on your home network to share the modem router Internet connection. NAT is enabled

• Enable. NAT is enabled. This is the default setting. Leave this setting if no reason to disable NAT exists.
• Disable. NAT is disabled.
Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the 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).

If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses
to the modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP address
of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is
