minutes. This determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active after
there is no Internet activity from the LAN. A value of 0 (zero) means never log out.

Internet IP Address

When a login is required, these fields display

:

Get Dynamically from ISP

. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP

automatically assigns these addresses.

address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router will
connect.

Use These DNS Servers

addresses to the 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.

Router MAC Address

. The Ethernet MAC address used by the router 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 will then accept traffic only from the MAC address of that
computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also
called cloning).

Use Default Address

. Use the default MAC address.

Use Computer MAC Address

. The 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.
