network adapter.
Your router can use the MAC address of your PC’s network adapter as
the router’s WAN MAC address. To avoid calling your ISP and
changing the MAC address that is registered with the ISP, follow these
instructions:
1 In the Cloned WAN MAC Address row, click Enable.
2 Enter a MAC address or click one of the Learned MAC addresses
and click Apply.
3 After restarting the unit, the router will present the MAC address to
the ISP you have entered here.
4 Deselect Enable to return to the default MAC address.
