How to clone a MAC address

For

ALL

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access

Control) address . Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a

router or a computer) connected directly to the modem . If your computer’s

MAC address is registered with your ISP and you do not want to re-register

the MAC address, then you can clone the address (assign the registered MAC

address of your previous device to your new router) . If you want to use the

MAC address from an old router that you are replacing with your new router,

you should first determine the MAC address of your old router, then manually

enter it into your new router .

noTE

For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, the

stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you reset the

modem . If you are installing this router for the first time, reset your

modem before connecting the router to your modem . To reset your

modem, disconnect power for about one minute, then reconnect

power .

To clone a MAC address from your computer:
