• PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) Some DSL-based ISPs
use PPPoE to establish communications with an end-user. If you are con-
nected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if
they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have Enable it. To enable PPPoE:
1. Choose the Enable option within the PPPoE area of the Setup screen.
2. Enter the User Name you use to log onto your Internet connection.
3. Enter your corresponding Password.
• MAC Address Cloning Click on "MAC Address" (next to WAN IP
Address) to display your Router's MAC address, which is a 12-digit code
assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social
security number. Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of
your network card/adapter, which was connected to your cable or DSL
modem during installation. If your ISPs require MAC address registra-
tion, find your adapter's MAC address by doing the following:
Enter those 12 digits into the fields below, and click Apply. This “clones”
your network adapter’s MAC address onto your Router, and prevents you
from having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the
Router’s MAC address.
