Configuring your WaN Media access Controller (MaC) address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have
a unique "serial number" called a MAC address� Your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) may record the MAC address of your computer's adapter
and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service� When
you install the Router, its own MAC address will be "seen" by the ISP and
may cause the connection not to work� Belkin has provided the ability to
clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the Router� This MAC
address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP's system as the original MAC
address and will allow the connection to work� If you are not sure whether
your ISP needs to see the original MAC address, simply clone the MAC
address of the computer that was originally connected to the modem�
Cloning the address will not cause any problems with your network�
Cloning your MaC address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer
that was ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router was
installed� Click the "Clone" button (1)� Click "Apply Changes" (3)� Your MAC
address is now cloned to the Router�
