MAC Cloning
The Wireless router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a
unique piece of hardware for identification. 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 ISP requires MAC address registration, find your wireless
router’s MAC address by following the instructions for your PC’s
operating system.
For Windows 98 and Millennium
1 Click the Start button on your PC and select Run.
2 Type “winipcfg“ in the field provided and press the OK key.
3 Select the Ethernet Adapter you are using.
4 Click More Info.
5 Write down your Ethernet MAC address.
MAC (Medium Access Controller)
A specific MAC address is hard-coded
into every wireless 802.11 for security.
Only the 802.11 radios that have their
specific MAC address added to that
network’s MAC table can get into the
network.
