minutes. This setting determines how long the modem router keeps the Internet
connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. A value of 0 (zero)
means never log out.
Internet IP Address.
• Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP
automatically assigns these addresses.
• Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP's modem router to which your
modem router will connect.

based on their names.
• Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.
• Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select this
option. Enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
Modem Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on
the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address
of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer's MAC
address (this is also called cloning).
• Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Computer MAC Address. The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using. You have to use the one computer that is allowed
by the ISP.
• Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
