MAC Configuration

Generally, the MAC address does not need to be changed. However, in the following

situations, you may need to change the MAC address of the WAN port or LAN port.

Configure the MAC Address of the WAN port

In the condition that your ISP has bound your account to the MAC address of the dial- up

device, if you want to replace the dial-up device with this router, you can just set the MAC

address of this router’s WAN port the same as that of the previous dial-up device for a

normal internet connection.

Configure the MAC Address of the LAN port

In a complex network where all the devices are ARP bound, if you want to replace the

current router with this router, you can just set the MAC address of this router’s LAN port

the same as that of the previous router, which avoids updating ARP binding tables of all

devices in your local network.
