How to clone a MAC address
For
ALL
On any home network, each network device has a unique
MAC
(Media Access
Control) address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a
router or a computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer’s
MAC address is registered with your ISP and you do not want to re-register
the MAC address, then you can
clone
the address (assign the registered MAC
address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the
MAC address from an old router that you are replacing with your new router,
you should first determine the MAC address of your old router, then manually
enter it into your new router.
NOTE
For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, the
stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you reset the
modem. If you are installing this router for the first time, reset your
modem before connecting the router to your modem. To reset your
modem, disconnect power for about one minute, then reconnect
power.
To clone a MAC address from your computer:
Setup > MAC Address Clone
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 20).
2.
Click the
Setup
tab, then click the
MAC Address Clone
page.
3.
Click
Enabled
.
4.
Click either
Clone My PC’s MAC
or enter the 12-digit MAC address of
your old router.
