Setup > MAC Address Clone
Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address
in order to access the Internet. A MAC address is a
12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for
identification. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC
address with your ISP, you can use the MAC Address Clone
feature to assign the currently registered MAC address to
the Router.

connection to the Internet, keep the default, Enabled. If
another router exists on your network, select Disabled.

Dynamic Routing (RIP)
Enabled/Disabled This feature 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. When the NAT setting is
enabled, the Dynamic Routing feature is automatically
disabled. When the NAT setting is disabled, this feature
is available. Select Enabled to use the Dynamic Routing
feature.
