Setup > MAC Address Clone
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This
feature "clones" your network adapter's MAC address onto
the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP
to change the registered MAC address to the Router's
MAC address. The Router's MAC address is a 12-digit code
assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification.
Setup > MAC Address Clone
MAC Address Clone Select Enabled or Disabled from
the drop-down menu.
MAC Address Enter the MAC Address registered with
your ISP in this field.
Clone My PC's MAC When MAC Address Clone is enabled,
click this button to copy the MAC address of the network
adapter in the computer that you are using to connect to
the Web interface.

Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Operating Mode
Operation Mode Select the Operating mode in which
this Router will function.:
• Gateway This is the normal mode of operation. This
allows all devices on your LAN to share the same
WAN (Internet) IP address. In Gateway mode, the NAT
(Network Address Translation) mechanism is enabled.
• Router You either need another Router to act as the
Internet Gateway, or all PCs on your LAN must be
assigned (fixed) Internet IP addresses. In Router mode,
the NAT mechanism is disabled.
Dynamic Routing
The Router's dynamic routing feature can be used to
automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's
layout. The Router can use the dynamic RIP protocol to
calculate the most efficient route for the network's data
packets to travel between the source and the destination,
based upon the shortest paths. The RIP protocol regularly
broadcasts routing information to other routers on the
network.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
Router to use the RIP protocol, select Enabled; otherwise,
keep the default setting, Disabled.
RIP Send Packet Version
want for transmitting data on the network: RIPv1 or
RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other
Routers on your LAN.
RIP Recv Packet Version
Choose the RX protocol you
want for receiving data from the network: RIPv1 or RIPv2.
This should match the version supported by other Routers
on your LAN.
Static Routing
Sometimes you will prefer to use static routes to build your
routing table instead of using dynamic routing protocols.
Static routes do not require CPU resources to exchange
routing information with a peer router. You can also use
static routes to reach peer routers that do not support
dynamic routing protocols. Static routes can be used
together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to introduce
routing loops in your network.
To set up static routing, you should add route entries in
the routing table that tell the Router where to forward
packets to specific IP destinations.
Enter the following data to create a static route entry:
