Cisco RV110W Administration Guide
Sometimes, you may need to set the MAC address of the Cisco RV110W WAN
port to be the same MAC address as your PC or some other MAC address. This is
called MAC address cloning.
For example, some ISPs register your computer NIC card MAC address when the
service is first installed. When you place a router behind the cable modem or DSL
modem, the MAC address from the Cisco RV110W WAN port is not recognized by
the ISP.
In this case, to configure your Cisco RV110W to be recognized by the ISP, clone
the MAC address of the WAN port to be the same as your computer MAC address.
To configure a MAC address clone:
Choose Networking > MAC Address Clone.
In the MAC Address Clone field, check Enable to enable MAC address cloning.
To set the MAC address of the Cisco RV110W WAN port, do one of the following:
• To set the MAC address of the WAN port to your PC MAC address, click
Clone My PC's MAC.
• To specify a different MAC address, enter it in the MAC Address field.
Click Save.
