NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows computers on your home network to share the modem router Internet connection. NAT is

• Enable. NAT is enabled. This is the default setting. Leave this setting if no reason to disable NAT
exists.
• Disable. NAT is disabled.
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 (also called cloning).
