Configuring Your Internet Connection

1-9

v1.3, October 2009

Internet IP Address

Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign

your IP address. Your ISP automatically assigns these
addresses.

Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address that your ISP

assigned. Also enter the IP subnet mask and the gateway IP
address. The gateway is the ISP’s wireless router to which
your wireless router will connect.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address

The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on
their 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 wireless
router during login, select this option, and enter the IP
address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.

This field
appears only if
no login is
required.

Router MAC Address

The Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the wireless
router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the Ethernet
MAC address of the network interface card in your computer
when your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic
only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature
allows your wireless router to masquerade as that computer
by “cloning” its MAC address.
Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address of the

router (normally the LAN MAC address).

Use Computer MAC Address. The wireless router will

capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you
are now using. You must be using the one computer that is
allowed by the ISP.

Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you

want to use.
