• Connect to DNS Server: Allows this router to get the DNS
IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on
the Internet that translates Internet names to numeric IP
addresses.
• Authentication: This item may be specied by some ISPs.
Check with your ISP and ll them in if required.
• Host Name: This eld allows you to provide a host name for
your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the
host name here.
• MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address is a
unique identier for your networking device. Some ISPs
monitor the MAC address of networking devices that
connect to their service and reject any unrecognized device
that attempt to connect. To avoid connection issues due to
an unregistered MAC address, you can:
• Contact your ISP and update the MAC address associated
with your ISP service.
• Clone or change the MAC address of the ASUS wireless
router to match the MAC address of the previous
networking device recognized by the ISP.
