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

. Click “Apply Changes”

Your MAC address is now cloned to the Router.

Entering a Specific MAC Address

You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page. Type in a MAC

address in the spaces provided

and click “Apply Changes”

save the changes. The Router’s WAN MAC address will now be changed
