DG834G Reference Manual
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834G configuration settings to
the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834G in a setting where you
will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router
6. ADSL Modem Router MAC Address:
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the ADSL modem
router on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network
interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept
traffic from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your ADSL modem router
to masquerade as that computer by "cloning" its MAC address.
To change the MAC address, select "Use this Computer's MAC address". The ADSL modem
router will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You
must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Alternatively, select "Use this
MAC address" and enter it.
7. Click Apply to save your settings.
8. Click the Test button to test your Internet connection.

ADSL Settings

The default settings of your 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Router Model DG834G will work
fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs use a specific Multiplexing Method and Virtual Circuit
Number for the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI).
Note: The correct country must be selected from the Setup Wizard's first page for the default
ADSL Settings to work.
If your ISP provided you with a specific Multiplexing Method or VPI/VCI number, then fill in the
following:
1. Select the ADSL Settings link from the main menu.
2. For the Multiplexing Method, select LLC-based or VC-based.
3. Type a number between 0 and 255 for the VPI. The default is 8.
4. Type a number between 1 and 65535 for the VCI. The default is 35.
5. Click Apply.
