Setup > MAC Address Clone

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 12-digit code

assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification°

Some ISPs require you to register a MAC address in order

to access the Internet° If you have your computer’s MAC

address registered with your ISP and you do not wish

to re-register the MAC address, then you may assign

the registered MAC address to the Router with the MAC

Address Clone feature°

Setup > Advanced Routing

This screen is used to set up the Router’s advanced

functions° Operating Mode allows you to select the

type(s) of advanced functions you use° Dynamic Routing

automatically adjusts how packets travel on your network°

Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network

NAT

Enabled/Disabled

If this Router is hosting your network’s

connection to the Internet, keep the default,

Enabled

° If

another router exists on your network, select

Disabled

When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be

enabled°

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

Dynamic routing uses the Routing Information Protocol

(RIP)° This option enables the Router to automatically

adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and

exchange routing tables with the other router(s)° The

Router determines the network packets’ route based on

the fewest number of hops between the source and the

destination°

Enabled/Disabled

When the NAT setting is enabled, the

Dynamic Routing feature is automatically disabled° When

the NAT setting is disabled, this option is available° Select

Enabled

to use the Dynamic Routing option°

Static Routing

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network

information must travel to reach a specific host or network° Enter

the information described below to set up a new static route°

Destination LAN IP

The Destination LAN (Local Area

Network) IP is the address of the remote network or host

to which you want to assign a static route°

Subnet

Mask

The

Subnet

Mask

determines

which

portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network

portion, and which portion is the host portion°

Gateway

This is the IP address of the gateway device that

allows for contact between the Router and the remote

network or host°

Interface

This interface tells you whether the Destination

IP Address is on the

LAN & Wireless

(Ethernet and wireless

networks) or the

WAN

(Internet)

° (WAN stands for Wide

Area Network°)
