computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already
registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a
new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered
MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC
address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the
modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and
manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.
Note: For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the
stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you
are installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the
router to your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the
procedure is to disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute,
then reconnect the power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your
modem’s User Guide/Manual or contact your ISP.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page”
on page 17).
2. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. Click on the Setup section and click on WAN Setting.
4. Next to MAC Address field, enter the MAC address of your computer. Click Apply to

Note: You can check the DHCP Client List for the MAC addresses of the devices on
your network, see page 36 or refer to your computer or device documentation to
find the MAC address.

Advanced > Setup > Routing
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to
other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be
determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for
the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another
network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate
between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an
example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network
to access the other network.
Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking
knowledge.
