DIR-100 Triple Play Router
For Dynamic IP Address connections, the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter can be copied to the
Router. Some ISPs use the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter for identification and
for IP address assignment (DHCP) when you first access their network. This can prevent the Router (which
has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISP’s network (and the Internet). To clone
the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, select Enabled for MAC Cloning and click the Clone
MAC Address button. Click Next to continue.
