2-10 Connecting the Router to the Internet
Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access
the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router will automatically log you in.
• The Domain Name Server (DNS) Address parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s
services such as mail or news servers.
Note: If you enter DNS addresses, restart your computers so that these settings take effect.
• Router MAC Address. This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by
the router on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the
network interface card in your PC when your account is first opened. They will then only
accept traffic from the MAC address of that PC. This feature allows your router to masquerade
as that PC.
To change the MAC address, select “Use this Computer’s MAC address.” The router will then
capture and use the MAC address of the PC that you are now using. You must be using the one
PC that is allowed by the ISP. Or, select “Use this MAC address” and enter it.
• Click Apply to save your settings.
• Click Test to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR website does not appear within
one minute, refer to
Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.
