Nighthawk X4S AC2600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7800 Field Description 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. Router MAC Address The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port.

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.
