Internet IP Address • Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP automatically assigns
these addresses.
• Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address that your ISP
assigned. Also enter the IP subnet mask and the gateway IP
address. The gateway is the ISP’s gateway to which your
wireless router will connect.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on
their names.
• Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP automatically
assigns this address.
• Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP does
not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the wireless
router during login, select this option, and enter the IP
address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
This field
appears if no
login is required
or the Internet
Service Provider
is not defined as
“Other.”
Router MAC Address The Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the wireless
router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the Ethernet
MAC address of the network interface card in your computer
when your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic
only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature
allows your wireless router to masquerade as that computer
by “cloning” its MAC address.
• Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
• Use Computer MAC Address. The wireless router will
capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you
are now using. You must be using the one computer that is
allowed by the ISP.
• Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you
want to use.
