Note:
If the LAN IP address is changed, you must use the new IP address to login to the Router. To
guarantee a normal communication, please be sure that the Gateway address and the Subnet Mask of
the Hosts are consistent with that of the Router accordingly.

to 512 DHCP static address entries can be supported for LAN by this Router.
The first entry in Figure 4-12 indicates: The IP address
192.168.0.101 is reserved for the
computer with the MAC address 00-19-66-83-53-CF, and this entry is activated.
Note:
It's recommended that users first bind the IP address and the MAC address in 4.6.1.1 IP-MAC Binding,
then import the entries from the IP-MAC binding table to the List of Reserved Address in buck by
clicking <Import> button in Figure 4-12 DHCP Reservation.

4.3.3 MAC Address
The MAC (Media Access Control) address, as the unique identifier of the router in network, does not
need to be changed commonly.
Set the MAC Address for LAN port:
In a complex network topology with all the ARP bound devices, if you want to use TL-R470T+ instead
of the current router in a network node, you can just set the MAC address of TL-R470T+’s LAN port the
same to the MAC address of the previous router, which can avoid all the devices under this network
node to update their ARP binding tables.
Set the MAC Address for WAN port:
In the condition that your ISP has bound the account and the MAC address of the dial-up device, if you
want to change the dial-up device to be TL-R470T+, you can just set the MAC address of TL-R470T+’s
WAN port the same to the MAC address of the previous dial-up device for a normal Internet
connection.
