Setup Wizard – Configure Dynamic IP Address Connection
For Dynamic IP Address connections, you may want to copy the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter to
the Router. Some ISPs use the unique MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter for identification
and for IP address assignment (DHCP) when you first access their network. This can prevent the Router
(which has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISP's network (and the Internet). To
clone the MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter, click the Clone MAC Address button. Click
Next to continue.

Description
The Host Name is optional but may be required by some ISPs.
If you clone the MAC address of your computer to the Router,
the MAC address will appear here. This will be the MAC address
recorded by the ISP's server when the connection is initiated.
The default MAC address is set to the Internet's physical
interface MAC address on the Broadband Router. You can use
the "Clone Your PC's MAC Address" button to copy the MAC
address your computer's Ethernet Card to the Router.
