Advanced Settings
The following are options in the Advanced Settings section tab. Some of these options are
shown, depending on the protocol being used.
Override
MAC address
Allows you to specify a different MAC address other than the Radio's original MAC
address. This is useful if the ISP uses the MAC address of a router to identify a customer.
Suppose that the router needs to be replaced. The new router can take on the MAC
address of the previous router in order to continue having internet access.
Override
MTU
Sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU), the default being 1500 bytes. Unless, your
ISP requires, it is not recommended to change this setting.
Use gateway
metric
Allows you to specify a gateway metric. This acts as a cost for choosing the gateway
when a connected device has to select between multiple available gateways. The
gateway with the smallest metric is chosen.

When sending DHCP requests, a client can indicate if it wants an answer in unicast or
broadcast, by setting the broadcast flag. This is required for certain ISPs.
