Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when
your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer.
This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also called
cloning).
• Use Default
Address. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Computer MAC

computer that you are now using. You have to use the one computer that the ISP allows.
• Use This MAC
Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
