Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer's MAC address (also called cloning). Use Default Address Use the default MAC address. Use Computer MAC Address The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is registered by the ISP.
