Speed
In most cases, the wireless VPN firewall can automatically determine the connection speed of the WAN
port of the device (modem, dish, or router) that provides the WAN connection. If you cannot establish an
Internet connection, you might need to manually select the port speed. If you know the Ethernet port speed
of the modem, dish, or router, select it from the drop-down list. Use the half-duplex settings only if the
full-duplex settings do not function correctly.
Select one of the following speeds from the drop-down list:
• AutoSense. Speed autosensing. This is the default setting, which can sense all Ethernet speeds and
duplex modes, including 1000BASE-T speed at full duplex.
• 10BaseT Half_Duplex. Ethernet speed at half duplex.
• 10BaseT Full_Duplex. Ethernet speed at full duplex.
• 100BaseT Half_Duplex. Fast Ethernet speed at half duplex.
• 100BaseT Full_Duplex. Fast Ethernet speed at full duplex.
• 1000BaseT Half_Duplex. Gigabit Ethernet speed at half duplex.
• 1000BaseT Full_Duplex. Gigabit Ethernet speed at full duplex.

Description
Each computer or router on your network has a unique 32-bit local Ethernet
address. This is also referred to as the computer's Media Access Control (MAC)
address. To use the wireless VPN firewall's own MAC address, select the Use
Default Address radio button.
Select the Use this computer's MAC Address radio button to allow the
wireless VPN firewall to use the MAC address of the computer you are now
using to access the web management interface. This setting is useful if your ISP
requires MAC authentication.
Select the Use this MAC Address radio button, and manually enter the MAC
address in the field next to the radio button. You would typically enter the MAC
address that your ISP is requiring for MAC authentication.
Note: The format for the MAC address is 01:23:45:67:89:AB (numbers
0–9 and either uppercase or lowercase letters A–F). If you enter a MAC
address, the existing entry is overwritten.
