MAC Address
This is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The host
name is the device name of the Router.
Enable this feature to allow the router to automatically recon-
nect to the ISP if the connection drops.
The default MAC Address is set to the WAN's physical inter-
face MAC address on the Router.
This feature will copy the MAC address of the Ethernet card
from the computer that is logged into the router, and replace
the WAN MAC address of the Router with this Ethernet card
MAC address. It is not recommended that you change the
default MAC address unless required by your ISP.
