AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D6400 Field Description Use IP over ATM (IPoA) Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your ISP assigned you for IPoA service. The gateway is the ISP router to which your modem router connects. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their domain names. Get Automatically from ISP Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns this address. Use These DNS Servers If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also. NAT (Network Address Translation) NAT allows computers on your home network to share the modem router Internet connection. NAT is enabled by default because it is required in most situations. Select the NAT setting: • Enable. NAT is enabled. This is the default setting. Leave this setting if no reason to disable NAT exists. • Disable. NAT is disabled. Router MAC Address The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. 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. Use This MAC Address Enter the MAC address that you want to use. By default, the field displays the MAC address of the Internet port.
