Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1210 User Manual Table 5. Ethernet Broadband Settings Fields When Login Not Required Fields and Check Boxes Description Account Name (If Required) This is also known as the host name or system name. For most users, type your account name or user name in this field. For example, if your main mail account is [email protected], then put JerAB in this field. If your ISP has given you a specific host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A). Domain Name (If Required) For most users, you can leave this field blank, unless required by your ISP. You can type the domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type xxx.yyy.zzz as the domain name. If you have a domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this field. (For example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast sometimes supplies a domain name.) If you have a cable modem, this is usually the workgroup name. Internet IP Address If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the router finds an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP. If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP has provided you with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address into the correct fields. For example: • IP Address . 24.218.156.183 • Subnet Mask . 255.255.255.0 • Gateway IP Address . 24.218.156.1 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names. • If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary addresses. • Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP . Note: If you get "Address not found" errors when you go to a website, it is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses. Router MAC Address Your computer's local address is its unique address on your network. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address. • Usually, select Use Default MAC Address . • If your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either Use Computer MAC Address to disguise the router's MAC address with the computer's own MAC address, or Use This MAC Address to manually type the MAC address for a different computer. The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value might be changed if Use Computer MAC Address is selected once a value has already been set in the Use This MAC Address selection. 22 | Chapter 1. Connecting to the Internet
