obtain Internet service. Follow the directions that your ISP gave you.
Note:
If you connect both a DSL modem and a cable or fiber modem to the
modem router and you want to manually specify the settings for a
cable or fiber Internet connection, you must first set the WAN
connection preference manually to the Ethernet WAN port (see
Change the Physical WAN Connection Preference
on page
197). If
you do not, the DSL settings take precedence over the cable or fiber
settings. However, NETGEAR recommends that you connect
only
the
modem that you intend to use for your Internet connection: a DSL
modem, cable modem, or fiber modem.
Use Computer MAC Address
The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer
that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is registered
by the ISP.
Use This MAC Address
Enter the MAC address that you want to use. By default, the field displays
the MAC address of the Internet port.
