network.
Default Gateway Enter the IP Address of the router in your network.
DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a
protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically.” You can
select to use this router as a DHCP client or DHCP server. To give

Clone MAC Address
Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order for you to
connect to the Internet. This MAC address is the PC’s MAC address
that your ISP had originally connected your Internet connection to.
MAC cloning feature allows the MAC address reported by WAN side
network interface card to be set to the MAC address already
registered with the ISP eliminating the need to register the new MAC
address with the ISP. This feature does not change the actual MAC
address on the NIC, but instead changes the MAC address reported
by Wireless Router to client requests. To Change the MAC address,
enter it in the text box.
