7.5 | Advanced Setup - WAN

Dynamic IP
The cable modem option allows you to configure a host name and MAC Address. The Host
Name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the
WAN's physical interface on the Router. Use this address when registering for Internet
service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. If your ISP used the MAC address
of an Ethernet card as an identifier when first setting up your broadband account, only
connect the PC with the registered MAC address to the Router and click the Clone MAC
Address button. This will replace the current Router MAC address with the already
registered Ethernet card MAC address. If you are unsure of which PC was originally set up by
the broadband technician, call your ISP and request that they register a new MAC address
for your account. Register the default MAC address of the Router.
